New spin-photon interface in C-band for quantum computing

Researchers have developed a new spin-photon interface that operates in the telecommunications C-band, crucial for long-distance quantum information transmission. The advance is based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots, achieving a hole spin dephasing time of 20 ns at 4 K. This result is significant because the C-band (1530-1565 nm) is the region of lowest attenuation in silica optical fibers, making it ideal for distributed quantum networks.

Deep Partial Lunar Eclipse Visible From Louisiana in 2026

On August 28, 2026, the Moon will pass through Earth's shadow, creating a deep partial lunar eclipse. At the moment of greatest eclipse, which will occur at 06:13 UTC (02:13 CEST), 96.3% of the lunar disk will be immersed in Earth's umbra. The umbra is the central, darkest region of the shadow, where sunlight is completely blocked.

This event will offer an opportunity for astronomical observation, especially from regions where visibility is optimal, such as Louisiana in the United States. Although it will not be a total eclipse, the high proportion of the lunar surface covered by the umbra will make it a notable spectacle for amateurs and scientists alike.
