Physicists show that real-time error correction in quantum communications is possible

Posted on by Robin Edgar

Now researchers have shown that there is a grey area where Nature cannot tell the difference between the classical and the quantum. This opens the possibility of first performing quantum experiments with a type of classical light called “classically entangled” light. By preparing and sending a so-called “classically entangled” beam the team could show that Read more about Physicists show that real-time error correction in quantum communications is possible[…]

Your Android device’s Pattern Lock can be cracked within five attempts

Posted on by Robin Edgar

New research from Lancaster University, Northwest University in China, and the University of Bath, which benefitted from funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), shows for the first time that attackers can crack Pattern Lock reliably within five attempts by using video and computer vision algorithm software. By covertly videoing the owner Read more about Your Android device’s Pattern Lock can be cracked within five attempts[…]
