The quantum space race

Thomas D. Jennewein, Brendon L. Higgins

Sending satellites equipped with quantum technologies into space will be the first step towards a global quantum-communication network. As Thomas Jennewein and Brendon Higgins explain, these systems will also enable physicists to test fundamental physics in new regimes.

Geometry of probabilities confirmed

Rob Tycko

The geometric transition probability, discovered by Michael Berry of Bristol University, UK, has now been characterised experimentally for the first time by J W Zwanziger, S P Rucker and G C Chingas, using an ingenious technique based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (Phys. Rev. A (1991) 43 3232). An introduction to the theory of this new geometric effect in quantum mechanics was given by Ian Aitchison in Physics World last November (p22).
