Researchers Reach Largest Entangled Quantum Register to Date
Researchers Reach Largest Entangled Quantum Register to Date
A controlled multiparticle entanglement in a system of 20 quantum bits has been achieved by a research team at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Innsbruck, together with researchers from the University of Ulm and IQOQI Vienna. The researchers were able to detect genuine multiparticle entanglement between all neighboring groups of three, four, and five quantum bits.

Optofluidic Smart Glass System Is Cost-Efficient, High Performing
Smart glass panels that can switch between allowing light in and blocking it out could one day be used in eco-friendly windows, windshields, roof panes, and building envelopes to absorb light and heat in cold weather and reflect heat away from buildings and vehicles when the weather is hot.

Tiny Fiber Optic Probe Senses Body Temps, Performs OCT Imaging
Tiny Fiber Optic Probe Senses Body Temps, Performs OCT Imaging
A miniaturized fiber optic probe has been invented that can simultaneously measure body temperature and take images deep inside the body. The single-fiber-based image and sensing probe uses an OCT lens fabricated at the distal end of a double-clad fiber. The fiber has a thin layer of rare-earth-doped tellurite glass to enable temperature measurements.

Radiant Vision Systems, Test & Measurement - AR/VR Lens: Measure Displays in Headset AR/VR Lens: Measure Displays in Headset

Radiant Vision Systems, Test & Measurement
Displays viewed near to the eye, such as those in AR/VR devices, create immersive virtual experiences. However, as display images are magnified to fill a user’s field of view, display defects are also magnified. Issues with uniformity of brightness and color, dead pixels, line defects, cloudiness, and image position become more evident to the user whose eyes are only centimeters away from display screens.

Selecting the Best Sensor for Your Machine Vision System
Selecting the Best Sensor for Your Machine Vision System
Tue, Apr 24, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
You will learn how to "do the math" in order to make sure your sensor has the resolution you need to find defects of a certain size; what to look for in sensor quality; what a sensor can do for you (and, just as importantly, what it cannot do). This webinar will also discuss the importance of other components in machine vision, including the lens, camera and lighting.
