In a groundbreaking use of teleportation, critical units of a quantum processor have been successfully spread across multiple computers, proving the potential of distributing quantum modules without compromising on their performance.

While the transfer only took place over a space of two meters (about six feet) in an Oxford University laboratory, the leap was more than enough to emphasize the feasibility of scaling quantum technology by teleporting quantum states across an 'internet' of connected systems.

Teleportation is a quirk of physics that only makes sense through a quantum lens, where objects exist in a blur of possible characteristics until processes of measurement force them to adopt each state.

By mingling the undecided states of different objects in an act known as entanglement, and then carefully choosing the right kinds of measurements to make on one, it's possible to use the answers to force an entangled object some distance away to adopt (and destroy) the original object's quantum identity.

It might not be the kind of teleportation that would beam passengers through the vacuum of space in a blink, but it's perfect for sharing the blur of information necessary for logical operations in a quantum processor.

"Previous demonstrations of quantum teleportation have focused on transferring quantum states between physically separated systems," says lead author Dougal Main, a physicist at Oxford University.

"In our study, we use quantum teleportation to create interactions between these distant systems."

Where classical computers use binary 'on or off' switches to perform strings of computations on bits of information, quantum computers use mathematically complex distributions of possibilities known as qubits, typically represented in a simple feature of an uncharged particle such as a charged atom.

To make this process practical, hundreds or even thousands of such particles need to have their yet-to-be-decided states entangled with one another in a restricted fashion, without intrusive objects weaving their own possibilities in and messing up the calculations.

Scaling current technology to this level is complicated by obstacles that require error-correcting processes or shielding to preserve the delicate quantum states long enough for them to be measured.

Linking a number of smaller processors across a network to create a kind of quantum supercomputer is another solution. While quantum information can be transmitted in the form of a light wave, the potential for its state to be irreversibly corrupted along the way makes it an impractical option.

Teleportation requires the receipt of measurements the old-fashioned way – through reliable binary data. Once sent, operations at the receiving end can tweak their own entangled particle until it effectively looks like the original.

The all-important quantum blur of the teleported spin state in the Oxford University experiment was an 86 percent match with the original, more than good enough for it to serve as a logic gate for a simple operation known as a Grover's algorithm, which succeeded with 71 percent efficiency across the two quantum processors.

"By interconnecting the modules using photonic links, our system gains valuable flexibility, allowing modules to be upgraded or swapped out without disrupting the entire architecture," says Main.

Having options for restructuring a quantum network could diversify the applications for such technology, repurposing networks of computers into cowtools that can measure and test physics at its most fundamental level.

OP

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has "worked with" 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training" over 9000 journ*lists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.

The operation claims "offices" in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN.

Bourgault's IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at . Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted.

IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN's budget has been supplied by the US government (thread follows)

USAID-funded Internews went from funding media organizations with George Soros to overthrow governments in Eastern Europe to calling for advertising boycotts to censor free speech online.

This is a textbook example of U.S. regime change tactics being redirected against domestic populism and American citizens.

In the 1990s, Internews partnered with the Soros Foundation to fund media organizations in post-Soviet nations, playing a pivotal role in the color revolutions of the 2000s in Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine.

During Georgia's Rose Revolution, Internews funded and trained journ*lists at Rustavi-2 TV, the leading channel driving the uprising.

"Media was very good at informing the public about what was going on, and it had a huge role in calling people onto the streets." – Marc Behrendt, former Internews director for Georgia

By 2003, in Ukraine, Internews had conducted 220 media training programs, trained over 2,800 journ*lists, and produced more than 220 television and 1,000 radio programs. It also funded Telekritika, an online outlet that played a central role in the 2004 Orange Revolution.

After Brexit and Donald Trump's election in 2016, Internews—now working with the USAID-funded World Economic Forum (WEF)—shifted its focus to pushing advertising boycotts to suppress online dissent.

What was once a U.S.-funded operation to overthrow foreign regimes is now being used to silence American citizens and dismantle Trump's populist MAGA movement.

The Price Tag?

USAID has funneled over $470 million in taxpayer dollars into Internews.

I can tell you where the bodies are buried here. Beyond funding a parallel Mockingbird Media propaganda army of US state-sponsored journ*lists and media outlets, USAGM plays a major role in the censorship industry through something called the OTF, the Open Technology Fund.

Remember that Mike Pondsmith, who invented all this crap, is a BLack man who has exclusively dated white women since he was a teenager so this is OK.

Anyway, I started the Dogtown part of the game (from the Phantom Liberty DLC) which is very good but the small area is a little too busy which causes some serious jank and framerate drops. The new car theft missions have caused my PC to crash a couple of times. Apparently the REDengine CD Project Red use is just not up to maintaining a game like this. They have already announced they're dumping it for future releases and rely on Unreal 5. I've had some shocking glitches while driving- cars appearing out of nowhere, falling out of the sky like that guy in Morrowind...

I even had a car spawn directly under me, catapulting my car 30 feet into the air. The game has avoided this from being too immersion-breaking by making almost every car that has collidedwith me driven by a woman.

There is a character in this game called 'Mr. Hands' who seemed to change his voice actor. This is controversial so I innocently googled "Mr Hands voice controversy"...

Yeah, they maybe should have checked that name before they used it.

The Chancellor speaks of what it was to be Australian. Being forthright and honest was always a central theme describing Australians yet today all we see are lies and distortions.While no sensible person condones the firebombings, lets put this in context. They were in protest against the atrocities conducted by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people in Gaza. It's that simple and only narcissistic people will see the truth and disregard the facts. (Note, government and not those of the Jewish faith).I agree with other posters that this country is merely a shell of its former self, and that, unfortunately, is a direct result of allowing too much media influence being given to one person whose agenda backs up the fact that once too much power is allowed in the hands of a morally bankrupt group; well, nothing good has ever come from that.

You're missing some "context" there mate. Like the part where Hamas forces stormed into Israel, killed 1000 people and took 800 hostage which triggered all of this. (11)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

What resonates the most for me is that we have lost our sense of humour and larrikin spirit. People overseas have this perception of Australia and Australians as knock about good humoured people. We used to be, we aren't anymore, we take ourselves and issues far too seriously. (13)

HTF can your main post be about rising anti-semitism (which I agree is a bad thing), then in this comment you're saying "we take ourselves and our issues far too seriously"???So should I take anti-semitism seriously or not seriously if it isn't personally an issue for me?And what does larrikin even mean? Is some dumb frick with no real understanding of history (too busy being a larrikin in Year 10 to listen…) who does an 'ironic' nazi salute as a 'joke' a larrikin or an anti-semite? What about the same kind of person saying dumb, stereotypical stuff about muslims? Or Blackfellas? Or even women? Should we take them equally seriously or is that taking things 'too seriously'?I actually do agree with you that we have lost a lot of empathy, community and even mateship somewhere over the last little bit. Like the slow progress towards equality we made over the last generation has suddenly been battered back by economic pressure, splintering social connections, pervasive social media disinf... (5)

With that kind of attitude towards them, I can't imagine why you got banned before. It's a mystery for the ages. (1)

My 'attitude' of observing the fact they don't want to assimilate, they bring their hatred and cultural 'norms' that conflict with ours with them and then they have the expectation of we bend for them, and that is a bad thing for me to do? Muslims hate western society, and how we live, they make not secret of it and someone of us don't want to be hated in our own country…and that makes me bad? Why? For example, Sydney has seen a rise is gay bashings recently, violent thugs bashing lifeguards, Anti-Semitic fire bombings and vandalism. Last summer, it was a string of groping and sexual touching of women/girls at beaches, where they were let off because 'their culture doesn't know any better'. I wonder what 'culture' they are referring to. I wonder who is responsible for that. 🤔Violence is normalised and celebrated in their culture. It's not in ours. And recognising that's doesn't make me a bad person. (4)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

We are just mirroring what's happening all across the world.Bigotry and racism is a global epidemic and will only get worse while right wing propaganda spreads unchecked.Anti-Semitism is terrible of course but no worse than any other form of racism or hate crime.Will all racism/hate crime be classed as terrorism if Peter Dutton ever becomes prime minister or will that just be reserved for certain groups?All we can do is s stay vigilant and protect what we have and don't allow our politicians to politicise issues that don't deserve to be.
