Why Are We Here? / Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication / School Calendar

Ships don’t sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don’t let what’s happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.

Why
are we here?
.
Through self-introspection
and reflection,
we can come to realize
the most essential reason for our existence,
is for us to grow
in Love.

Many people
enter our Lives
 and help us to grow 
in Life,
and
in our Love.

Life
will be challenging,
but over time we learn
that the challenges guide us
toward understanding.

Challenges
allow us to gain strength
through Learning and Wisdom,
and come to the realization
that through Forgiveness,
we leave behind the pain
and suffering,
and embrace the Love
within us.
If
we approach Life
with Loving purpose,
we will evolve to continuously reflect
upon our Sacred
Reality.

You know it
when you feel it.

“Purpose” 
will become a Feeling
that the things you do in Life
are worthwhile.
When you have a sense of purpose,
you feel
that you have made
a good choice.

To Live
a purposeful Life,
is more than seeking
achievement and pleasure.
A Life of Loving purpose
is a Life of meaning.

“The Soul
which has no fixed purpose in Life
is lost;
to be everywhere,
is to be nowhere.” 
– Michel de Montaigne

Those of us
with a strong sense of purpose
will Live longer, have healthier Hearts,
and become resilient.

Heartfelt choices
 will make the biggest differences
in the future.
.
When you are struggling
to find what you want to do in Life,
follow the uplifting Pathway
of your Heart,
not the dangerously deep canyons
of the mind.
As a society,
and as very Human Beings,
we would be far more constructive
if we focused our Time
on caring for
and Loving
one another.

As we play
the roles we choose in Life,
let us remember,
we are here to grow
and become the best version
of ourselves.

By choosing
a Loving Pathway to follow,
we make this World
a better place
for everyone,
including and especially
ourselves.

One of the most Beautiful experiences
you can ever have,
is to feel so deeply Human, 
as you become aware of the Beauty
that dwells deep
within your Loving Heart.
.
This knowing,
this feeling,
makes you aware
that Love is pure
Beauty,
and you are pure
Love,
Child of God.
God’s Love
shines brighter
than Day.
.
His Love
will surround you,
as you Trust in Him.
He is ever Present,
in all Time of need
and for Eternity.

He
has the Desire
to Touch your
Soul.

Only Today
is where your story
begins.
Embrace it,
and welcome every moment
 in it.

You
will feel Peaceful and Hopeful
in your Healing
embrace
of Life.  
. 
Beauty is raining down
on our troubled World,
with the Sun
peeking through the clouds,
and Blessing us
with a colorful Rainbow
of Promise.
My Dear Friend,
the options in Life
are endless.
.
You
are not limited to one
of anything.
.
Always remember,
that there is Infinite spaciousness
in Life.
Our Horizons are broad,
and the World is big.
As the Universe
touches your mind
and invites you to be a part of it,
 remember,
your problems are not as big
as you feel them to be
in relation to the Whole Universe.
.
It can be
very comforting
to fundamentally change
 your Philosophical thought processes
on Life
and Living.
Your Dreams
are revealing.
.
They inspire you
to pursue what you
Love,
and fly above
whatever
comes between you
and them.
.. With a fulfilled
Heart,
overflowing with Love,
you will come to know
God has a Greater Purpose
in Life,
and
He wants you
to Fulfill it.

He
allows us to experience Life,
because
He Loves us.
.
The Beauty of God’s Creations,
 especially us,
is vast and overwhelming.
.
And Knowing
we are one,
is a Birthright of every Being
Gifted with Life.

The Beauty
of our Existence
is in knowing that we
were created in Love.
In God’s Love
is a Timeless Meaning of Life
and an Eternal
Existence.

Arriving 
on the Beautiful shores
of Boundless Love,
is a vast Ocean of Pure Love
and Devotion.

We can see within,
 and feel the Inner World
of our Heart.
.
We can
walk in each other’s steps
and feel the waves within,
the waves that echo 
across a vast and empty Universe
of longing feelings
waiting to be heard.
Love
the Beauty of all
of God’s Creations.

Have a Blessed Day,
and Blessed Relationship
with the Lord.
May you feel with His Heart
and see thru His Eyes.

My Prayer for you
is that you grow stronger each day,
and that other people
walk beside you
on this Journey
of Life.
We are all in this
together.
Life is so short
and so amazing.
How Wonderful it is
for God to Create
so many wonderful people,
to Create
you.

Goodnight.

Scientists Achieve Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication For The First Time

Quantum communication is a strange beast, but one of the weirdest proposed forms of it is called counterfactual communication – a type of quantum communication where no particles travel between two recipients.

Theoretical physicists have long proposed that such a form of communication would be possible, but now, for the first time, researchers have been able to experimentally achieve it – transferring a black and white bitmap image from one location to another without sending any physical particles.

If that sounds a little too out-there for you, don’t worry, this is quantum mechanics, after all. It’s meant to be complicated. But once you break it down, counterfactual quantum communication actually isn’t as bizarre as it sounds.
First up, let’s talk about how this differs from regular quantum communication, also known as quantum teleportation, because isn’t that also a form of particle-less information transfer?

Well, not quite. Regular quantum teleportation is based on the principle of entanglement – two particles that become inextricably linked so that whatever happens to one will automatically affect the other, no matter how far apart they are.

This is what Einstein referred to as “spooky action at a distance“, and scientists have already used it to send messages over vast distances.

But that form of quantum teleportation still relies on particle transmission in some form or another. The two particles usually need to be together when they’re entangled before being sent to the people on either end of the message (so, they start in one place, and need to be transmitted to another before communication can occur between them).

Alternatively, particles can be entangled at a distance, but it usually requires another particle, such as photons (particles of light), to travel between the two.
Direct counterfactual quantum communication on the other hands relies on something other than quantum entanglement. Instead, it uses a phenomenon called the quantum Zeno effect.

Very simply, the quantum Zeno effect occurs when an unstable quantum system is repeatedly measured.

In the quantum world, whenever you look at a system, or measure it, the system changes. And in this case, unstable particles can never decay while they’re being measured (just like the proverbial watched kettle that will never boil), so the quantum Zeno effect creates a system that’s effectively frozen with a very high probability.

Counterfactual quantum communication is based on this quantum Zeno effect, and is defined as the transfer of a quantum state from one site to another without any quantum or classical particle being transmitted between them.

This requires a quantum channel to run between two sites, which means there’s always a small probability that a quantum particle will cross the channel. If that happens, the system is discarded and a new one is set up.

To set up such a complex system, researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China placed two single-photon detectors in the output ports of the last of an array of beam splitters.
Because of the quantum Zeno effect, the system is frozen in a certain state, so it’s possible to predict which of the detectors would ‘click’ whenever photons passed through. A series of nested interferometers measure the state of the system to make sure it doesn’t change.

It works based on the fact that, in the quantum world, all light particles can be fully described by wave functions, rather than as particles. So by embedding messages in light the researchers were able to transmit this message without ever directly sending a particle.

The team explains that the basic idea for this set up came from holography technology.
“In the 1940s, a new imaging technique – holography – was developed to record not only light intensity but also the phase of light,” the researchers write in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

“One may then pose the question: Can the phase of light itself be used for imaging? The answer is yes.”

The basic idea is this – someone wants to send an image to Alice using only light (which acts as a wave, not a particle, in the quantum realm).

Alice transfers a single photon to the nested interferometer, where it can be detected by three single-photon detectors: D₀, D₁, and D_f.

If D₀ or D₁ ‘click’, Alice can conclude a logic result of one or zero. If D_f clicks, the result is considered inconclusive.
As Christopher Packham explains for Phys.org:

“After the communication of all bits, the researchers were able to reassemble the image – a monochrome bitmap of a Chinese knot. Black pixels were defined as logic 0, while white pixels were defined as logic 1 …

In the experiment, the phase of light itself became the carrier of information, and the intensity of the light was irrelevant to the experiment.”

Not only is this a big step forward for quantum communication, the team explains it’s technology that could also be used for imaging sensitive ancient artefacts that couldn’t survive direct light shined on them.
The results will now need to be verified by external researchers to make sure what the researchers saw was a true example of counterfactual quantum communication.

Either way, it’s a pretty cool demonstration of just how bizarre and unexplored the quantum world is.

The research has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
