What If Eavesdropping Left a Trace? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this the last article in the Making Sense of Quantum series we examine quantum encryption.In 2024, an operation known as Salt Typhoon hacked the phone calls of senior American politicians. The attackers had penetrated major US telecommunications networks to access and record these private communications without detection.In our digital world, we expect our phone and internet communications to be secure. But imagine making a confidential call about a takeover bid, a patient, a legal matter or
What Does Quantum Advantage Really Mean? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Late last month in Beijing, a humanoid robot ran 100 metres in 8.64 seconds, beating Usain Bolt’s world record time of 9.58 seconds. Headlines claimed this was an ‘Incredible Moment: Chinese Robot Beats Usain Bolt’.But is that a valid comparison? A motorbike is faster than Usain Bolt. So is my car. But no one says either has beaten the ‘Lightning Bolt’. The only basis for the comparison is that the robot has legs.And when the robot crossed the finish line, it crashed into a padded barrier.

When the Noise Is the Message (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The little European robin we met in last week’s article will soon be winging her way across the Mediterranean. Sometime between September and November, she will fly south to reach warmer climes with abundant food supplies. Evidence suggests that she navigates partly by sensing the Earth’s magnetic field, which is about a hundred times weaker than the pull of a fridge magnet.The robin reads that faint signal through a quantum reaction in its eye. This reaction is so delicately balanced that the p
Finding the Right Problem for Quantum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Each autumn, the tiny red-breasted European robin leaves northern Europe and flies south to the warmer climates of southern Europe and North Africa. Weighing not much more than a Tim Tam biscuit, she battles headwinds and storms to reach a destination thousands of kilometres from home.As best we understand it, this amazing feat of nature is enabled by the robin’s ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field. One leading explanation suggests she does this via a light-sensitive chemical reaction in
Beneath the Masterpiece (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Australia’s National Portrait Gallery holds more than 3,000 works, only a fraction of which can be displayed at any time. The rest are kept in storage in carefully controlled conditions.Beneath the exhibition galleries is another space that is filled with machinery to maintain the conditions in which the collection survives.Hundreds of thousands of visitors pass through the gallery each year without ever seeing this other world. Air from outside the gallery is brought in, warmed to a higher temp
