 The new observation makes it possible. That system can create Schrödinger's cat state in optical pulses. 

The ability to make Schrödinger's cat state to optical pulses is one of the most incredible observations in the world. That thing can revolutionize communication and computing. In experiments, the researchers from Warzaw University used the Fourier transform to create a new type of optical pulse. Wikipedia describes the Fourier transform like this "In physics and mathematics, the Fourier transform (FT) is a transform that converts a function into a form that describes the frequencies present in the original function". (Wikipedia, Fourier transform). 

That transform means that it's possible to calculate the form of original information after it travels through the environment which variables the system knows. The idea is this: if the transmitter sends information as wave movement. And that wave movement is turned flat or its frequency is changed. The Fourier transform makes it possible to calculate the original form of that wave. 

That requires knowledge about the wave movement's original energy level and complete information on how the transformer transformed those waves. That allows to creation of a new state of optics. And the AI can calculate how lenses change the light waves. 

In information theories, Schrödinger's cat, which is same time dead and alive means the information transporter. (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat) When a cat is dead, it doesn't carry information. When a cat is alive it carries the information. 


"Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to perform the fractional Fourier Transform of optical pulses using quantum memory. This unique achievement involved implementing the transformation on a “Schrödinger’s cat” state, having potential applications in telecommunications and spectroscopy." (ScitechDaily.com/Groundbreaking Quantum Leap: Physicists Turn Schrödinger’s Cat on Its Head)


If a cat carries hidden information, it can be at the same time dead or alive. 


If there is a USB stick hidden in the collar the person who hides that USB stick knows that the cat carries information. But other persons or outsiders don't know that cat carries information. So dead cat means that something is meaningless. And a living cat means that the thing means something to somebody. 

Schrödinger's cat means that the same thing can mean something to somebody. And for some other people, the same thing means nothing. In communication, the radio wave can carry purpose signals. That makes them interesting. Or those signals do not carry interesting data. And that makes them dead. 

The Scrödinger's cat is the thing that is dead and alive at the same time. We can describe Schrödinger's cat in information as the transmission that means something to somebody, but what doesn't mean anything to somebody else. So in information technology, Schrödinger's cat state means, that the eavesdropper will not recognize messages when they travel in the data channel. 

And if the transmitter system sends information through the high-voltage wire, that wire is a dead cat. The outsiders will not recognize data that travels in that cable. But the system that communicates by using high-voltage wire knows that there is information.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
