China's quantum satellite establishes photon entanglement

A team of Chinese scientists have realized the satellite-based distribution of entangled photon pairs over 1,200 kilometers. The photon pairs were demonstrated to be still entangled after travelling long distances. This satellite-based technology opens up bright prospects for both practical quantum communications and fundamental quantum optics experiments at distances previously inaccessible on the ground, said Pan Jianwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The achievement was made based on the world' s first quantum satellite, Quantum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS), also dubbed Micius, launched by China on August 16, 2016, and was published as a cover article in the latest issue of academic journal Science. This experiment was made through two satellite-to-ground downlinks with a total length varying from 1,600 to 2,400 kilometers. The obtained link efficiency is many times higher than that of the direct bidirectional transmissio

Επιστήμονες πέτυχαν κβαντική τηλεμεταφορά σε απόσταση 1203 χιλιομέτρων!

Κινέζοι επιστήμονες ανακοίνωσαν ότι πέτυχαν το φαινόμενο της κβαντικής διεμπλοκής (ή κβαντικού εναγκαλισμού) δύο φωτονίων σε απόσταση 1.203 χιλιομέτρων, πετυχαίνοντας ένα νέο παγκόσμιο ρεκόρ και καταρρίπτοντας κατά πολύ το προηγούμενο ρεκόρ που ήταν περίπου 100 χιλιόμετρα. Οι Κινέζοι ερευνητές ανέφεραν την επιτυχή δορυφορική μετάδοση των κβαντικά «διαπλεκόμενων» φωτονίων (σωματιδίων του φωτός) μεταξύ της Γης και του διαστήματος. Με αυτό τον τρόπο, έκαναν ένα άλμα προς τον τελικό στόχο της δημιουργίας κρυπτογραφημένων κβαντικών δικτύων τηλεπικοινωνιών και Ίντερνετ, τα οποία θεωρούνται αδύνατο να πέσουν θύμα χάκερ. Ο κινεζικός δορυφόρος Micius, ο οποίος είχε τεθεί σε τροχιά πέρυσι το καλοκαίρι, είναι ο πρώτος διεθνώς που έχει εφοδιασθεί με τον κατάλληλο εξοπλισμό για κβαντικά πειράματα. Χρησιμοποιήθηκε για την κβαντική επικοινωνία με τρεις επίγειους κινεζικούς σταθμούς που απείχαν μεταξύ τους απόσταση περίπου 1.200 χλμ., ενώ η απόσταση του δορυφόρου από τους στα

From al-Qaeda terrorist to CIA “Freedom Fighter”: one man’s journey from Europe to Libya

In the bloody terror-fueled conflicts that have been waged by the U.S. and NATO in Libya and Syria, one man has helped to recruit so-called “freedom fighters” and unleash them on those countries’ innocent civilians. But he has yet to be brought to justice. by Steven Sahiounie Part 3 - Linking Ireland to Western-backed terrorists Al-Harati’s home country of Ireland is tightly connected to the same terrorists that he has worked with for years. After the Manchester and London terrorist attacks in early summer 2017, it came to light that they had a strong link to Ireland. We now know that the government of Ireland has been consistently supporting radical Wahhabist terrorists in Syria, describing them as “freedom fighters.” Ireland itself has a long history of homegrown terrorism. There is also a long-established trend of terrorist groups having helped each other in joint ventures – one hand washing the other. The deserts of Libya were home to Irish terrorists-in-trai

Automation and the planned obsolescence of the Proletariat

Garry Glass discusses how advances in automation are disrupting class relations. Part 6 - Planned obsolescence of the Proletarian subject If automation is to be adopted then it should be because the workers themselves want it, that they may find more useful things to do with the new efficiency gains. Without worker engagement it is much more likely to look like planned obsolescence of the worker themselves. The question automation poses labour is a crisis for the proletarian subject – how will we reproduce our lives, in a world dominated by access to a wage – when gaining full time, well remunerated or secure employment has become destabilized? Our bargaining power within the capitalist system either comes from our ability to sell our labour, or through our ownership of property. Whilst the working population have been enchanted by accumulating goods and using services, they have not been accumulating their own means of production. The crisis in wag

It has started: the global neoliberal regime launches upgraded authoritarianism from Japan

It appears that the Orwellian future is coming faster than anyone could imagine globinfo freexchange It appears that the Orwellian future is coming faster than anyone could imagine. Japan took a step closer to an upgraded authoritarianism, which is necessary for the neoliberal regime, in order to prevent popular uprise against Feudalism 2.0. A 21st century Feudalism that the elites already start to implement in many regions. From Nikkei Asian Review : Japan's parliament enacted early Thursday morning an anti-conspiracy law that significantly expands authorities' surveillance powers, overriding opposition calls for more deliberations. The Diet's upper house approved the legislation after a night of on-and-off debate. The bill had already cleared the lower house. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had pushed hard for this law, calling it necessary to safeguard against terrorism at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics . The lower house, dominated by the ruling coalition,
