Quantum breakthrough without magnets: physicists find a way to 'program' atoms with light

Quantum Computers A group of researchers from the Faculty of Physics at Vilnius University has presented a theoretical model that allows "programming" atoms using light—all without bulky external magnetic fields. This is not just a laboratory trick, but a potential shift in the architecture of quantum systems.
The essence of the approach: a light beam first sets atoms into a specific state, and then this pre-prepared medium itself begins to modify the shape and polarization of complex laser beams...

Bitcoin under threat: not a crash, but boredom — that's what scares analysts

The main danger for Bitcoin lies not in a market crash, but in a prolonged sideways trend. Many investors mistakenly believe that a sharp price drop is the worst-case scenario.

It is this "quiet death" of the narrative, not volatility, that represents a real existential risk for the first cryptocurrency...
