Deterministic single photon light sources, creating quantum bits at extreme rates and speed are now coupled to specially designed, integrated photonic circuits, capable of processing quantum information with adequate speed and quality without degrading the susceptible quantum states.

 Niels Bohr Lecture by L. Mahadevan, Harvard University. The first results from the James Webb Space Telescope have hinted at galaxies so early and so massive that they are in tension with our understanding of the formation of structure in the Universe. Various explanations have been proposed that may alleviate this tension. But now a new study from the Cosmic Dawn Center suggests an effect which has never before been studied at such early epochs, indicating that the galaxies may be even more massive.

James Webb’s “too massive” galaxies may be even more massive

 To better understand observations of the most distant galaxies, an international team of astronomers has built a sample of local galaxies which can be studied in much higher detail. In a newly published study they show how the amount of light that escapes from a galaxy is connected to its physical properties.

 Humanity’s first attempt to re-direct asteroids that could collide with Earth, the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test satellite (DART), successfully impacted the 150 meter large moon Dimorphos orbiting the 760 m diameter Near Earth Object (NEO) Didymos.

First ever asteroid hit by spacecraft could save the Earth from impact

 Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, marking the end of a star's life. A particularly bright burst was recently detected by several space telescopes.
