Weakly Entangled Proton and Neutron Orbitals

This post will discuss what findings concerning weakly entangled proton and neutron orbitals mean for a journey towards quantum internet. The most important term to recap to understand this post is quantum entanglement: Quantum entanglement  is a unique phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become linked, and the state of one particle is immediately connected to the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are. This is a key resource in quantum communication and quantum computing. The findings I want to explore come from an arxiv paper titled "Quantum entanglement patterns in the structure of atomic nuclei within the nuclear shell model" by A. Pérez-Obiol, S. Masot-Llima, A. M. Romero, J. Menéndez, A. Rios, A. García-Sáez, and B. Juliá-Díaz from 11th of Jul 2023. It explores the entanglement features in the nuclear shell model, focusing on Be, O, Ne, and Ca isotopes.

On Sat, 22 Jul 2023 researchers Sukbae Lee, Ji-Hoon Kim, and Young-Wan Kwon published on arxiv article "The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor". The paper discusses the synthesis of a room-temperature superconductor (LK-99) that operates at ambient pressure.  If these findings are confirmed, they could have significant implications for the development of quantum communication. Let's explore possibilities of potential impacts: Enhanced Quantum Information Transfer: Superconductors are key components in many quantum systems because they allow for the lossless transfer of quantum information. A room-temperature superconductor could significantly enhance the efficiency and practicality of quantum communication systems by eliminating the need for expensive and complex cooling systems currently required for maintaining superconductors at very low temperatures.
