- 1Physicists Observe Elusive Kelvin Waves in Quantum Fluids●Observing Quantum Kelvin Waves In quantum fluids, vorticity is quantized into discrete vortices only a few nanometers wi
Researchers report the observation of Kelvin waves — helical distortions that ripple along quantized vortices just nanometers wide in quantum fluids. The waves have long been proposed as a mechanism for how turbulence dissipates in superfluids, and confirming them directly closes a decades-old question in quantum turbulence research.
- 2New Quantum Algorithm Targets Fluid-Flow Bottleneck●New Quantum Algorithm Targets Bottleneck in Fluid-Flow Modeling
Researchers have introduced a new quantum algorithm aimed at a key bottleneck in fluid-flow modeling, a computationally intensive problem in physics and engineering. The development suggests quantum computing could eventually speed up simulations of turbulence and fluid dynamics that strain classical supercomputers. Details on the team behind it and practical timelines remain limited.
