Quantum breakthrough could revolutionise computing
Computer scientists have been trying to make an effective
quantum computer for more than 20 years. Firms such as
Google, IBM and Microsoft have developed simple machines.
But, according to Prof. Winfried Hensinger, who led the research
at Sussex University, the new development paves the way for
systems that can solve complex real world problems that the best
computers we have today are incapable of.
"Right now we have quantum computers with very simple
microchips," he said. "What we have achieved here is the ability
to realise extremely powerful quantum computers capable of
solving some of the most important problems for industries and
society."
Currently, computers solve problems in a simple linear way,
one calculation at a time. In the quantum realm, particles can be
in two places at the same time and researchers want to harness
this property to develop computers that can do multiple
calculations all at the same time.
Quantum particles can also be millions of miles apart and be
strangely connected, mirroring each other's actions
instantaneously. Again, that could also be used to develop much
more powerful computers.
One stumbling block has been the need to transfer quantum
information between chips quickly and reliably: the information
degrades, and errors are introduced.
But Prof. Hensinger's team has made a breakthrough,
published in the journal Nature Communications, which may
have overcome that obstacle.
The team developed a system able to transport information
from one chip to another with a reliability of 99.999993% at
record speeds. That, say the researchers, shows that in principle
chips could be slotted together to make a more powerful
quantum computer.

Generic catastrophic poverty when selfish investors exploit a
degradable common resource
Game theory deals with situations in which a number of
agents compete with each other, with each participant trying to
maximize his or her own profit individually. One speaks of a
"Nash equilibrium" if players cannot increase their returns
further. The "Tragedy of the Commons" is a game theoretical
scenario in which the actors do not compete directly, but
indirectly: If someone takes a piece of a common pie, there will
be less for everybody else.
Instead of investigating how to avoid the "Tragedy of the
Commons," Claudius Gros from Goethe University's Institute for
Theoretical Physics examined the resulting Nash equilibrium,
with unexpected results: If a common good is divided more or
less equally among N interested parties, then each receives a
share of the order 1/N. However, the respective investment costs
still need to be deducted.
Gros' calculations show that, in equilibrium, the actors
increase their engagement until the resulting investment costs
almost reach the value of the resources the individual investor
can secure for her- or himself. Mathematically, the theoretical physicist was able to show that the final profit of the individual
investor scales as 1/N2.
The original expectation, that investors each receive a
proportional share from the resource, remains correct, as Gros'
research shows. However, this does not translate into an overall
return of the same proportion, which is smaller by a power in the
number of investors. Gros denotes the dramatic deterioration of
the net profit as "catastrophic poverty," as it implies that
unregulated competition drives the individual actor close to the
profitability limit, viz to the subsistence level.
Similarly, Gros was able to show that catastrophic poverty
can be avoided when the actors cooperate with each other.
Cooperation leads to a net profit corresponding to the number of
investors in simple power, the classical result.
The result of the investigations is therefore that the "Tragedy
of the Commons" can cause substantially more damage than
previously assumed. Uncontrolled access not only leads to a
potentially excessive exploitation of the resource, a topic that has
been the focus of many previous studies. In addition, investors
suffer themselves when only maximizing their own profits.

'A Spiraling Loop of Feedbacks':
Worst-Case Scenario for Amazon Rainforest
A paper to be published in the Journal Science on January
27 has found that humans have degraded more than one-third of
the remaining trees in the Amazon rainforest. This degradation
could eventually lead to "a spiraling loop of feedbacks," Jos
Barlow, a professor of conservation science at Lancaster
University in the U.K. and co-author of the paper,
told Newsweek.
Up to 38 percent of the remaining Amazon has been affected
by human actions, researchers from Brazil's University of
Campinas (Unicamp), the Amazon Environmental Research
Institute (IPAM), National Institute for Space Research (INPE),
and Lancaster University found.
The degradation of this area-equivalent to 5.5 times the size
of the state of California-releases carbon emissions equivalent
to or greater than those from deforestation.
The Amazon contributes 16 percent of all the land-based
photosynthesis in the world, and strongly regulates global carbon
and water cycles, sucking in carbon dioxide and producing
oxygen. Additionally, despite only covering around 0.5 percent of
the Earth's surface, the Amazon is home to over 10 percent of all
named plant and vertebrate species on Earth.
"Healthy rainforests provide amazing habitat for
biodiversity-this is what the Amazon is most famous for," Sally
Thompson, an ecohydrologist at The University of Western
Australia, told Newsweek. "They usually support clean water in
rivers, make it rain, and cool the surrounding area. You can hunt,
harvest timber or foods sustainably from healthy and wellmanaged forests. And a healthy forest can often recover from
disturbance. Degraded forests aren't as good at doing any of
those things, and often they struggle to recover from
disturbance."
Deforestation involves a loss of the forest canopy and a
change in land use (e.g.,from forest to agriculture or urban land
use), while degradation is a process affecting the remaining
forests. Degradation essentially means that there is still forest in
place but it is not as healthy or as good at providing benefits for
the environment or for people.

Text CG2A2
A new study on physical activity that involved more than
half a million participants over age 40 found that modest exercise
increases life expectancy regardless of weight.
Contrary to most of the attention given to obesity as the
crucial risk factor for health, the study found that an active
lifestyle increased life expectancy to a greater extent than a lower
body mass index (BMI), in general. In fact, participants who
were active but class 1 obese lived an average of 3.1 years longer
than those who were at a normal weight but didn’t engage in
physical activity. This is in-line with reports from earlier this year
that excessive sitting is unhealthy and that reducing excessive
sitting to less than 3 hours a day alone can improve longevity
by 2.0 years.
The article states low level of physical activity of
moderate to vigorous intensity would confer a 1.8-year gain in
life expectancy after age 40, compared with no activity. A low
level of physical activity is defined as up to 75 minutes of fast
walking per week.
A consequence of this study is that it calls into question
the reliance on BMI to assess fitness. That isn’t to suggest that
BMI isn’t a factor, but that what we’ve heard for years in the
media that being overweight is “bad” for you while exercise is
“good” is a flawed message. A better message would be: Regular
exercise is essential to longevity and a lower BMI helps too —
do the first and the other will likely follow.
