Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder has publicly corrected persistent inaccuracies in popular explanations of quantum entanglement. She argues that everyday analogies such as paired shoes illustrate only classical correlations and fail to convey the non-classical features confirmed by Bell inequality violations. Hossenfelder also restores historical context…
The third edition of the Entropy 2026 Conference will be held at the Barcelona School of Management from July 1 to 3, 2026. Chaired by Professors Miguel Rubi and Kevin H. Knuth, it features a prominent Session 3 on Quantum Information and Quantum Computing on the first day. The session includes keynotes by Ariel Caticha, Eli Barkai, and Stefano Mancini on topics such as entropic quantum gravity, monitored quantum systems, and quantum neuron capacity, along with several oral presentations and poster contributions. The compact in-person format with poster sessions and a banquet creates strong conditions for direct exchanges and potential collaborations. Registration closes June 15, 2026.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have generated the first certifiably perfect random numbers using entangled superconducting qubits. The team employed an improved Bell test for randomness amplification from imperfect sources. This achievement provides a physically certified foundation for advanced cryptographic applications and quantum-secure systems.
Entropy links classical thermodynamics to quantum information and computing. At Entropy 2026 in Barcelona, experts will gather to explore these profound connections. The conference features dedicated sessions on quantum information with pioneering researchers.
