Quantum Mechanics for Oil Industry
With their current approach, energy companies can extract about 35 percent of the oil in
each well. [36]
An international team has shown that quantum computers can do one such analysis
faster than classical computers for a wider array of data types than was previously
expected. [35]
A team of researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated that it is
possible to use cloud-based quantum computers to conduct quantum simulations and
calculations. [34]
Physicists have designed a new method for transmitting big quantum data across long
distances that requires far fewer resources than previous methods, bringing the
implementation of long-distance big quantum data transmission closer to reality. [33]
A joint China-Austria team has performed quantum key distribution between the
quantum-science satellite Micius and multiple ground stations located in Xinglong (near
Beijing), Nanshan (near Urumqi), and Graz (near Vienna). [32]
In the race to build a computer that mimics the massive computational power of the
human brain, researchers are increasingly turning to memristors, which can vary their
electrical resistance based on the memory of past activity. [31]
Engineers worldwide have been developing alternative ways to provide greater memory
storage capacity on even smaller computer chips. Previous research into twodimensional atomic sheets for memory storage has failed to uncover their potential—
until now. [30]
Scientists used spiraling X-rays at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) to observe, for the first time, a property that gives
handedness to swirling electric patterns – dubbed polar vortices – in a synthetically
layered material. [28]
To build tomorrow's quantum computers, some researchers are turning to dark excitons,
which are bound pairs of an electron and the absence of an electron called a hole. [27]
Concerning the development of quantum memories for the realization of global
quantum networks, scientists of the Quantum Dynamics Division led by Professor
Gerhard Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) have now
achieved a major breakthrough: they demonstrated the long-lived storage of a photonic
qubit on a single atom trapped in an optical resonator. [26]
Achieving strong light-matter interaction at the quantum level has always been a
central task in quantum physics since the emergence of quantum information and
quantum control. [25]
Operation at the single-photon level raises the possibility of developing entirely new
communication and computing devices, ranging from hardware random number
generators to quantum computers. [24]
Considerable interest in new single-photon detector technologies has been scaling in
this past decade. [23]
Engineers develop key mathematical formula for driving quantum experiments. [22]
Physicists are developing quantum simulators, to help solve problems that are beyond
the reach of conventional computers. [21]
Engineers at Australia's University of New South Wales have invented a radical new
architecture for quantum computing, based on novel 'flip-flop qubits', that promises to
make the large-scale manufacture of quantum chips dramatically cheaper - and easier
- than thought possible. [20]
A team of researchers from the U.S. and Italy has built a quantum memory device that
is approximately 1000 times smaller than similar devices— small enough to install on
a chip. [19]
The cutting edge of data storage research is working at the level of individual atoms
and molecules, representing the ultimate limit of technological miniaturisation. [18]
This is an important clue for our theoretical understanding of optically controlled
magnetic data storage media. [17]
A crystalline material that changes shape in response to light could form the heart of
novel light-activated devices. [16]
Now a team of Penn State electrical engineers have a way to simultaneously control
diverse optical properties of dielectric waveguides by using a two-layer coating, each
layer with a near zero thickness and weight. [15]
Just like in normal road traffic, crossings are indispensable in optical signal processing.
In order to avoid collisions, a clear traffic rule is required. A new method has now been
developed at TU Wien to provide such a rule for light signals. [14]
Researchers have developed a way to use commercial inkjet printers and readily
available ink to print hidden images that are only visible when illuminated with
appropriately polarized waves in the terahertz region of the electromagnetic
spectrum. [13]
That is, until now, thanks to the new solution devised at TU Wien: for the first time
ever, permanent magnets can be produced using a 3D printer. This allows magnets to
be produced in complex forms and precisely customised magnetic fields, required, for
example, in magnetic sensors. [12]
For physicists, loss of magnetisation in permanent magnets can be a real concern. In
response, the Japanese company Sumitomo created the strongest available magnet—
one offering ten times more magnetic energy than previous versions—in 1983. [11]
New method of superstrong magnetic fields’ generation proposed by Russian scientists in
collaboration with foreign colleagues. [10]
By showing that a phenomenon dubbed the "inverse spin Hall effect" works in several
organic semiconductors - including carbon-60 buckyballs - University of Utah
physicists changed magnetic "spin current" into electric current. The efficiency of this
new power conversion method isn't yet known, but it might find use in future
electronic devices including batteries, solar cells and computers. [9]
Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and
the University of Cambridge in the UK have demonstrated that it is possible to directly
generate an electric current in a magnetic material by rotating its magnetization. [8]
This paper explains the magnetic effect of the electric current from the observed
effects of the accelerating electrons, causing naturally the experienced changes of the
electric field potential along the electric wire. The accelerating electrons explain not
only the Maxwell Equations and the Special Relativity, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty
Relation, the wave particle duality and the electron’s spin also, building the bridge
between the Classical and Quantum Theories.
The changing acceleration of the electrons explains the created negative electric field
of the magnetic induction, the changing relativistic mass and the Gravitational Force,
giving a Unified Theory of the physical forces. Taking into account the Planck
Distribution Law of the electromagnetic oscillators also, we can explain the
electron/proton mass rate and the Weak and Strong Interactions.

Preface
Surprisingly nobody found strange that by theory the electrons are moving with a constant
velocity in the stationary electric current, although there is an accelerating force F = q E,
imposed by the E electric field along the wire as a result of the U potential difference. The
accelerated electrons are creating a charge density distribution and maintaining the potential
change along the wire. This charge distribution also creates a radial electrostatic field around
the wire decreasing along the wire. The moving external electrons in this electrostatic field are
experiencing a changing electrostatic field causing exactly the magnetic effect, repelling when
moving against the direction of the current and attracting when moving in the direction of the
current. This way the A magnetic potential is based on the real charge distribution of the
electrons caused by their acceleration, maintaining the E electric field and the A magnetic
potential at the same time.
The mysterious property of the matter that the electric potential difference is self maintained by
the accelerating electrons in the electric current gives a clear explanation to the basic sentence
of the relativity that is the velocity of the light is the maximum velocity of the electromagnetic
matter. If the charge could move faster than the electromagnetic field, this self maintaining
electromagnetic property of the electric current would be failed.
More importantly the accelerating electrons can explain the magnetic induction also. The
changing acceleration of the electrons will create a –E electric field by changing the charge
distribution, increasing acceleration lowering the charge density and decreasing acceleration
causing an increasing charge density.
Since the magnetic induction creates a negative electric field as a result of the changing
acceleration, it works as a relativistic changing electromagnetic mass. If the mass is
electromagnetic, then the gravitation is also electromagnetic effect. The same charges would
attract each other if they are moving parallel by the magnetic effect.
Quantum mechanics work lets oil industry know promise of
recovery experiments before they start
With their current approach, energy companies can extract about 35 percent of the oil in each
well. Every 1 percent above that, compounded across thousands of wells, can mean billions of
dollars in additional revenue for the companies and supply for consumers.
Extra oil can be pushed out of wells by forced water – often inexpensive seawater – but scientists
doing experiments in the lab found that sodium in water impedes its ability to push oil out, while
other trace elements help. Scientists experiment with various combinations of calcium,
magnesium, sulfates and other additives, or "wettability modifiers," in the laboratory first, using
the same calcite as is present in the well. The goal is to determine which lead to the most oil
recovery from the rock.
Vanderbilt University physicist Sokrates Pantelides and postdoctoral fellow in physics Jian Liu
developed detailed quantum mechanical simulations on the atomic scale that accurately predict
the outcomes of various additive combinations in the water.
They found that calcium, magnesium and sulfates settle farther from the calcite surface, rendering
it more water-wet by modifying the effective charge on the surface, enhancing oil recovery. Their
predictions have been backed by experiments carried out by their collaborators at Khalifa
University in Abu Dhabi: Saeed Alhassan, associate professor of chemical engineering and director
of the Gas Research Center, and his research associate, Omar Wani.
"Now, scientists in the lab will have a procedure by which they can make intelligent decisions on
experiments instead of just trying different things," said Pantelides, University Distinguished
Professor of Physics and Engineering, William A. & Nancy F. McMinn Professor of Physics, and
professor of electrical engineering. "The discoveries also set the stage for future work that can
optimize choices for candidate ions."
The team's paper, "Wettability alteration and enhanced oil recovery induced by proximal
adsorption of Na+
, Cl-
, Ca2+, Mg2+, and SO2-
4 ions on calcite," appears today in the journal Physical
Review Applied. It builds on Pantelides' previous work on wettability, released earlier this year.
His co-investigators in Abu Dhabi said the work will have a significant impact on the oil industry.
"We are excited to shed light on combining molecular simulations and experimentation in the field
of enhanced oil recovery to allow for more concrete conclusions on the main phenomenon
governing the process," Alhassan said. "This work showcases a classic approach in materials
science and implements it in the oil and gas industry: the combination of modeling and
experiment to provide understanding and solutions to underlying problems." [36]
Quantum algorithm could help AI think faster
One of the ways that computers think is by analysing relationships within large sets of data. An
international team has shown that quantum computers can do one such analysis faster than
classical computers for a wider array of data types than was previously expected.
The team's proposed quantum linear system algorithm is published in Physical Review Letters. In
the future, it could help crunch numbers on problems as varied as commodities pricing, social
networks and chemical structures.
"The previous quantum algorithm of this kind applied to a very specific type of problem. We need
an upgrade if we want to achieve a quantum speed-up for other data," says Zhikuan Zhao,
corresponding author on the work.
The first quantum linear system algorithm was proposed in 2009 by a different group of
researchers. That algorithm kick-started research into quantum forms of machine learning, or
artificial intelligence.
A linear system algorithm works on a large matrix of data. For example, a trader might be trying to
predict the future price of goods. The matrix may capture historical data about price movements
over time and data about features that could be influencing these prices, such as currency
exchange rates. The algorithm calculates how strongly each feature is correlated with another by
'inverting' the matrix. This information can then be used to extrapolate into the future.
"There is a lot of computation involved in analysing the matrix. When it gets beyond say 10,000 by
10,000 entries, it becomes hard for classical computers," explains Zhao. This is because the
number of computational steps goes up rapidly with the number of elements in the matrix: every
doubling of the matrix size increases the length of the calculation eight-fold.
The 2009 algorithm could cope better with bigger matrices, but only if their data is sparse. In these
cases, there are limited relationships among the elements, which is often not true of real-world
data. Zhao, Prakash and Wossnig present a new algorithm that is faster than both the classical and
the previous quantum versions, without restrictions on the kind of data it crunches.
As a rough guide, for a 10,000 square matrix, the classical algorithm would take on the order of a
trillion computational steps, the first quantum algorithm some tens of thousands of steps and the
new quantum algorithm just hundreds of steps. The algorithm relies on a technique known as
quantum singular value estimation.
There have been a few proof-of-principle demonstrations of the earlier quantum linear system
algorithm on small-scale quantum computers. Zhao and his colleagues hope to work with an
experimental group to run a proof-of-principle demonstration of their algorithm, too. They also
want to do a full analysis of the effort required to implement the algorithm, checking what
overhead costs there may be.
To show a real quantum advantage over the classical algorithms will need bigger quantum
computers. Zhao estimates that "We're maybe looking at three to five years in the future when we
can actually use the hardware built by the experimentalists to do
meaningful quantum computation with application in artificial intelligence." [35]
Cloud based quantum computing used to calculate nuclear binding
energy
A team of researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated that it is possible to use
cloud-based quantum computers to conduct quantum simulations and calculations. The team has
written a paper describing their efforts and results and uploaded it to the arXiv preprint server.
As work progresses toward the development of quantum computers able to tackle some of the
most difficult problems in computer science, attention has shifted to the means by which such
machines would be used. For example, if researchers build a big, expensive quantum computer
able to model how atoms and particles behave under unusual conditions, how would research
physicists access and use it? That has led to the idea of cloud quantum computing so that anyone
could access and use it from practically anywhere. That idea has been put into practice by two
companies investing seriously in a quantum computer-based future. IBM has developed what it
calls Q Experience, and Rigetti has developed 19Q. The former has a quantum processor with 16
qubits while the later has 19. In addition to building their computers, both companies have also
developed software that makes the systems available on the internet.
To test the possibilities of such a platform, the team at Oak Ridge set themselves the task of using
a quantum computer to calculate the nuclear binding energy of the deuterium nucleus (how much
energy it would take to separate the neutron and proton). The team used both cloud quantum
computing systems, which required tweaking software to deal with the differing number of qubits
the machines were able to use. The team reports that the cloud responded with a binding energy
that was within 2 percent of the actual measure.
The researchers report that their efforts prove that cloud-based quantum computing works, and
that it will be ready for prime-time when truly powerful machines are developed capable of such
tasks as simulating quantum physical systems or revealing reaction mechanisms in complex
chemical systems. [34]
New quantum repeater paves the way for long-distance big quantum
data transmission
Physicists have designed a new method for transmitting big quantum data across long distances
that requires far fewer resources than previous methods, bringing the implementation of longdistance big quantum data transmission closer to reality. The results may lead to the development
of future quantum networks, such as a global-scale quantum internet.
The researchers, Michael Zwerger and coauthors at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, have
published a paper on the new long-range quantum communication method in a recent issue
of Physical Review Letters.
"The greatest significance of our work is that we provide an efficient and scalable scheme for longdistance quantum communication," Zwerger told Phys.org. "We believe that this will be an
essential ingredient for a future quantum internet, where large amounts of quantum data will be
transmitted. Most importantly, in contrast to previous proposals, the required resources (per
transmitted qubit) at each repeater station do not scale with the distance, which makes the
quantum data transmission more efficient."
The new method relies on an alternative type of quantum repeater—a device that generates
quantum entanglement at distant locations on a quantum network in order to combat signal loss,
somewhat how an amplifier boosts the signal in classical communication networks.
The biggest advantage of the new quantum repeater is that it can allow quantum data
transmission to be scaled up to longer distances much more easily than with previous quantum
repeaters. Typically, as the transmission distance increases, more resources (qubits) are needed at
each repeater station. In previous schemes, the number of resources grows polylogarithmically or
even polynomially at each repeater station with the distance.
Using the new quantum repeater, the number of resources per transmitted qubit remains
constant at each repeater station; that is, it is entirely independent of the distance. This allows for
quantum data to be transmitted over arbitrarily long distances using a relatively small amount of
resources. In its current implementation, the method uses a few hundred qubits at each repeater
station, and can reach intercontinental distances.
As the physicists explain, the key behind the new quantum repeater is an entanglement distillation
protocol called hashing, which generates perfect pairs of entangled qubits. The researchers also
used an optimized measurement-based implementation, which greatly reduces unwanted noise.
These tools provide a high error tolerance and high transmission rates, allowing for quantum data
transmission in realistically noisy scenarios, such as a quantum internet.
"Just think of the internet as it has grown over the years, where data transmission has increased
dramatically," Zwerger said. "One can envision a quantum internet, where rather than classical
data quantum information is transmitted. Indeed, a number of very interesting applications of
such quantum data transmission have been discussed, among them quantum cryptography,
distributed quantum computing and distributed sensing. Truly secure transmission requires large
keys, and hence also large quantum transmission rates. A similar thing can be said about the
possibility of distributed quantum computation. In early proof-of-principle experiments, rates and
overheads might not be a big deal, but this for sure will become highly relevant once one scales
things up. This is where our proposal becomes relevant."
In the future, the researchers plan to extend the new quantum repeater devices to work with
larger networks.
"The present proposal is for point-to-point communication between a sender and a receiver,"
Zwerger said. "We plan to use similar ideas for multipartite quantum networks with many users. In
addition, we are currently investigating novel schemes where we try to apply similar techniques
on smaller scales—taking some of the ideas of the hashing protocol and design entanglement
purification protocols and communication schemes that use only a few qubits. This might have an
impact on a shorter timescale, when first prototype quantum communication systems will be
built." [33]
Real-world intercontinental quantum communications enabled by
the Micius satellite
A joint China-Austria team has performed quantum key distribution between the quantum-science
satellite Micius and multiple ground stations located in Xinglong (near Beijing), Nanshan (near
Urumqi), and Graz (near Vienna). Such experiments demonstrate the secure satellite-to-ground
exchange of cryptographic keys during the passage of the satellite Micius over a ground station.
Using Micius as a trusted relay, a secret key was created between China and Europe at locations
separated up to 7,600 km on the Earth.
Private and secure communications are fundamental for Internet use and e-commerce, and it is
important to establish a secure network with global protection of data. Traditional public key
cryptography usually relies on the computational intractability of certain mathematical functions.
In contrast, quantum key distribution (QKD) uses individual light quanta (single photons) in
quantum superposition states to guarantee unconditional security between distant parties.
Previously, the quantum communication distance has been limited to a few hundred kilometers
due to optical channel losses of fibers or terrestrial free space. A promising solution to this
problem exploits satellite and space-based links, which can conveniently connect two remote
points on the Earth with greatly reduced channel loss, as most of the photons' propagation path is
through empty space with negligible loss and decoherence.
A cross-disciplinary multi-institutional team of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences,
led by Professor Jian-Wei Pan, has spent more than 10 years developing a sophisticated satellite,
Micius, dedicated to quantum science experiments, which was launched on August 2016 and
orbits at an altitude of ~500 km. Five ground stations in China coordinate with the Micius satellite.
These are located in Xinglong (near Beijing), Nanshan (near Urumqi), Delingha (37°22'44.43''N,
97°43'37.01"E), Lijiang (26°41'38.15''N, 100°1'45.55''E), and Ngari in Tibet (32°19'30.07''N,
80°1'34.18''E).
Within a year after launch, three key milestones for a global-scale quantum internet were
achieved: satellite-to-ground decoy-state QKD with kHz rate over a distance of ~1200 km (Liao et
al. 2017, Nature 549, 43); satellite-based entanglement distribution to two locations on the Earth
separated by ~1200 km and Bell test (Yin et al. 2017, Science 356, 1140), and ground-to-satellite
quantum teleportation (Ren et al. 2017, Nature 549, 70). The effective link efficiencies in the
satellite-based QKD were measured to be ~20 orders of magnitude larger than direct transmission
through optical fibers at the same length of 1200 km. The three experiments are the first steps
toward a global space-based quantum internet.
The satellite-based QKD has now been combined with metropolitan quantum networks, in which
fibers are used to efficiently and conveniently connect numerous users inside a city over a
distance scale of ~100 km. For example, the Xinglong station has now been connected to the
metropolitan multi-node quantum network in Beijing via optical fibers. Very recently, the largest
fiber-based quantum communication backbone has been built in China, also by Professor Pan's
team, linking Beijing to Shanghai (going through Jinan and Hefei, and 32 trustful relays) with a
fiber length of 2000 km. The backbone is being tested for real-world applications by government,
banks, securities and insurance companies.
