Andrea Morello and co-workers have now demonstrated a violation of Bell\u2019s inequality in a pair of qubits in silicon, encoded in the electron spin and the nuclear spin associated with a single phosphorus donor embedded in a nanoelectronic device. The cover image is an artist\u2019s impression of visual fragments mapped spatially from data directly extracted from the measurement of the quantum state of the phosphorus atom. It expresses the creation of entangled qubits that lie at the heart of quantum computation. Letter p242; News &amp; Views p216 IMAGE: PAUL THOMAS (UNSW), IN COLLABORATION WITH K.

This comparative study focuses on the ingredients of both devices as well as the similarities between the environments in which they were demonstrated. Brunelleschi\u2019s Peephole device, according to his biographer Manetti, first demonstrated perspective theory in the early fifteenth century. Brunelleschis device, with its three main components, the mirror, the burnished silver and the painted panel, are examined in regards to the environment it was demonstrated in. The dissertation explores these elements as the essential conceptual ingredients for the reconfiguration of space in modern times. Aspects of Brunelleschi\u2019s device are also examined creatively in my practical work.<\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-size: 36px; font-weight: normal;\">Atomism project<\/span><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/visiblespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/screenGrab_22-4-2012_22-10-33.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1119\" title=\"screenGrab_22-4-2012_22-10-33\" src=\"http:\/\/visiblespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/screenGrab_22-4-2012_22-10-33-1024x604.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"http:\/\/visiblespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/screenGrab_22-4-2012_22-10-33-1024x604.png 1024w, http:\/\/visiblespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/screenGrab_22-4-2012_22-10-33-300x177.png 300w, http:\/\/visiblespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/screenGrab_22-4-2012_22-10-33.png 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Atomism is a collaborative Installation with Kevin Raxworthy that investigates silver, the mirror, and quantum theories of light. Richard Feynman in his 1979 lectures tells that light hits a mirror at all points not just at the point of reflection. All points on the surface of the mirror receive and reflect light based on the spin of the photon which is not visible to the viewer.
