Through the quantum looking glass

A thin device triggers one of quantum mechanics’ strangest and most useful phenomena

“It scrambles all the optical fields,” said Sandia senior scientist Igal Brener, an expert in a field called nonlinear optics who led the Sandia team. Occasionally, he said, a pair of entangled photons at different wavelengths emerge from the sample in the same direction as the incoming laser beam.

Igal said he is excited about this device because it is designed to produce complex webs of entangled photons — not just one pair at a time, but several pairs all entangled together, and some that can be indistinguishable from each other. Some technologies need these complex varieties of so-called multi-entanglement for sophisticated information processing schemes.

FedEx is shaking up the e-commerce world with a new data-driven platform named 'fdx.' Engineered to provide online merchants with top-to-bottom e-commerce solutions, this innovative venture is set to revolutionize the supply chain management sphere," RetailWire reported.

The new platform will leverage FedEx's delivery capabilities along with ShopRunner's technology.
"Online sellers, for instance, will be able to provide customers with estimated delivery times during the shopping process. Other features will inform them about the carbon footprint of their supply chain resources and help 'streamline, configure, and manage' returns," the website added.

The new platform was introduced on Jan. 14 at NRF 2024: Retail’s Big Show by FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam

DRich plan designed for you.

You get some kid. Tell him he’s an apprentice. Pay him minimum wage out of your salary and probably half your workload is reduced. Watch sports on your phone in the office.

Is it actually their first raise or the first time that have raised the numbers for all positions while managers could move up and get better pay by being successful in various size stores? I worked in retail for a very short period of time, but one of things they pitched was getting into management and moving up in the food chain to better stores to make more money.

“Everybody” = the voices in your head?

Funny that none of your fellow righties can even muster up the energy to back you up and pretend to care about this.

Sounds like a good plan but I rarely use my phone for anything besides texting. Every month or so my phone pops up with some usage statistics, I average 8 minutes a day of screen time.

Legislation to Create Special Georgia Senate Committee to Investigate Fulton County DA Fani Willis

At the least, at the very least she will lose her law license and there's a good chance she's going to jail. You can't do stuff like this when you're a lawyer, lawyers have gone to prison for far less. You cannot hire your unqualified boyfriend to be the lead consul in a felony case, overpay him, then help him spend the money. These are crimes, real crimes, not fake crimes they said Trump did. Plus look at the two of them, he's a nice looking guy, what's he doing screwing around with an ugly Thunder Thigh woman like her. Ick.
