Michael sends along an entry in the best title ever competition, this time a special baby Bacon edition:
The pulse wave arrival time (QKd interval) in normal children

"In this household, young man, we will keep our quantum key distribution pulses above the rate of 1000 keys per second!"

Last time, we did some slightly boring groundwork. This time, we're going to look at something more interesting: the way a pulse of light propagates in something (like a piece of glass) with a frequency-dependent refractive index.
In the last post I made an offhand mention of wave dispersion, which is the phenomena of different wavelengths propagating a different speed. In general this does exactly what it sounds like it should. It disperses the light.
The latest physics news is an experimental demonstration of "teleportation" involving both light and atoms, done at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and reported on by the Institutes of Physics and
Every time someone proposes a radical rewriting of science textbooks, one needs to proceed with caution. There is so much evidence for electrical potentials in nerve cells, this sounds really fishy:
