NEC C&C Foundation Awards 2009: C&C Prize to Dr. Fumitada Itakura, Prof. Ronald L. Rivest, Prof. Adi Shamir and Prof. Leonard M. Adleman Oct 22, 2009
The LSP method further improved the quantization properties in speech synthesis and reduced the effects of coding errors, which made it suitable for use in digitalization. It is also very well suited for use in coding LSIs, which proved to be beneficial for making mobile terminals smaller and reducing power consumption. (JCN Network, Japan)
Nanoscale laser harnesses plasmons Sep 2, 2009
Plasmons are that result from the quantization of electron oscillations similar to the way photons are quantizations of light waves. Previously, optical resonators for semiconductor lasers had to be at least half the size of the laser light's wavelength. (EETimes)
Miniaturized Lasers Can Emit Quantum Light Aug 4, 2009
The discovery of this quantization of the light field has opened up a new field of physics -- quantum optics. In the sixties one of its pioneers, the Nobel Prize winner Roy Glauber, suggested to characterize light sources according to the sequence of their emitted photons. (Science Daily)
Quantum Mechanical Effects In Ordinary Objects Jun 23, 2009
Because the NEMS resonator and the qubit are fabricated so closely together, their behavior is tightly linked; this allows the NEMS resonator to be used as a probe for the energy quantization of the qubit. "When the qubit is excited, the NEMS bridge vibrates at a higher frequency than it does when the qubit is in the ground state," LaHaye says. (Science Daily)
