…a dozen telescopes deployed around the globe and in space were used to monitor supernova SN 2018evt. One of the main instruments providing spectroscopic data was the 3.54-metre NTT telescope located at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) on La Silla Hill in Chile. The data were collected as part of the ePESSTO+ project, in which Dr Mariusz Gromadzki has been involved for several years. Publication details Lingzhi Wang, Maokai Hu, Lifan Wang,…

…ong on a phone or computer, a conversion of information happens – a file digitally encoded in one’s device’s memory is converted to an electric current driving the headphones.   “Similarly, we can convert quantum information encoded in photons – the smallest quanta of light. For example, we can transfer information from a single microwave photon to a single optical photon. However, devices capable of single-photon operations are quite difficult to…
