Rare topological superconductor - LaPt3P

Superconductors are important materials that can conduct electricity without resistance when cooled below a certain temperature, making them highly desirable where energy consumption needs to be reduced. It show quantum properties which are very usefull for building computers that use quantum physics to store data and perform computing operations, and are specific. Much better than the best supercomputers on the task. As a result, leading high-tech companies such as Google, IBM, and Microsoft are in increasing demand for industrial-scale quantum computers using superconductors.


However, the elementary units of quantum computers (qubits) are extremely sensitive and lose their quantum properties due to electromagnetic fields, heat and collisions with air molecules. Protection from these can be achieved by making more resilient qubits using a special class of superconductors called topological superconductors which in addition to being superconductors also host protected metallic states on their boundaries or surfaces.

Research has resulted in the discovery of a new rare topological superconductor, LaPt3P. This discovery may be of huge importance to the future operations of quantum computers. Topological superconductors, such as LaPt3P, newly discovered through muon spin relaxation experiments and extensive theoretical analysis, are exceptionally rare and are of tremendous value to the future industry of quantum computing.

LaPt3P is a member of the platinum pnictide family of SCs APt3P (A = Ca, Sr and La) with a centrosymmetric primitive tetragonal structure. Its Tc = 1.1 K is significantly lower than its other two isostructural counterparts SrPt3P (Tc = 8.4 K) and CaPt3P (Tc = 6.6 K), which are conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) SCs. Indications of the unconventional nature of the superconductivity in LaPt3P come from a number of experimental observations: a very low Tc, unsaturated resistivity up to room temperature and a weak specific heat jump at Tc. LaPt3P also has a different electronic structure from the other two members in the family because La contributes one extra valence electron. Theoretical analysis based on first principles Migdal-Eliashberg-theory15,16 found that the electron–phonon coupling in LaPt3P is the weakest in the family, which can explain its low Tc. The weak jump in the specific heat which is masked by a possible hyperfine contribution at low temperature. However, cannot be quantitatively captured.

RPA - UiPath

What is RPA?   RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology which let organization to make their task easy by allowing them to automate the task just like a human being was doing them across  application and systems. The purpose of RPA is to transfer the process execution from humans to bots. Robotic process automation interacts with the existing IT architecture with no complex system integration required. UiPath - The vendor UiPath is a New York City-based global software company that develops a platform for robotic process automation (RPA). The company's software monitors user activity to automate repetitive front and back office tasks, including those performed using other business software such as customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.   UiPath develops software to automate repetitive digital tasks normally performed by people. The technology combines emulating how humans read computer screens (AI Computer Vision) with APIs...

Some Pseudoscience and myths we still believe

Hi frnd, In this post I have mentioned some science fact and myth, among which some myth are not properly proof by science yet. But we still used to believe in that. That are also known as Pseudoscience. Bad Small Can Make You Sick According to the once-popular miasma theory, diseases were caused by "bad air." Miasma is the name for this foul-smelling, poisonous vapor that carried particles of decaying matter. In 1854, epidemiologists traced a deadly outbreak of cholera to water contamination. Discovering no organic matter in the water that was undoubtedly causing all the cholera, John Snow debunked miasma theory by proving that cholera is a waterborne disease. Soon, germ theory caught on and miasma flew out the window. Diffrent Parts of Tongue Have Different Taste Maybe this is one you learned in school, and maybe even still believe. Sorry, the idea that the tip of your tongue picks up sour tastes, or the middle of your tongue processes sweetness, or whatever, i...

Quantum Computer

Quantum computer use quantum mechanics to perform any computation. Basic unit of quantum system is Quantum Bits. These technology has great contributions in Super computer, Artificial intelligence or Machine learning. Many big companies are investing billion to develop super computer to get their thinking models.  IBM Quantum Computing Project Regular computer store information in bits 0 or 1. But Quantum computer stores information in Qubits ( i.e Quantum Bits). It means it store 0 and 1.It was the reason why Quantum computer are Faster than a Classical computer. Quantum computer base on Quantum Gates and Mearsurent. Any two level Quantum mechanics system used as Quit. Study of Quantum system is done by Quantum simulator. Quantum computer are very useful in solving physics problem. Quantum computer process information in fraction of time. A new Exascale computing project  will also based on Quantum Bits. Quantum computer are useful in cryptography. It also consi...
