New way to monitor blood flow in the brain

Monitoring the proper blood supply to the brain is crucial, not only for the prevention of neurological diseases, but also for their treatment. The technique of parallel near-infrared interferometric spectroscopy - πNIRS - developed by a team of scientists from the International Centre for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) and the Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering (IBIB-PAN) can make life easier for doctors and patients worldwide.

Multibody, entangled, Bell states in optical networks

Polish physicists have shown a new way to produce special quantum states having many-body Bell correlations. They have managed to represent this in a system of ultracold quantum atomic gases placed in optical lattices. This idea could be used to increase the precision of quantum sensors or to improve the security of quantum cryptographic protocols.
