No code, no problem! 🧬 ITMO Master’s students have built GenomeAI, a secure cloud platform that lets labs and biotech firms run full genetic analyses without coding knowledge. Learn more: https://t.co/pHBIRzbQ3e

Twice the efficiency, endless possibilities 🔥 ITMO scientists and partners have created a silicon-based metasurface that boosts optical chips for sensors, filters, and diagnostics. Their work has been published in @ACSPublications Learn more: https://t.co/Mr8CCnOQMu

From Feynman’s diagrams to unsolved mysteries like wave function collapse and high-temperature superconductivity, quantum mechanics is still evolving. (6/6) One thing’s clear, though. It’s not just theory, it’s tomorrow’s tech.

🔢 Shor’s algorithm (5/6) In the 1990s, Peter Shor proved that quantum computers could crack problems that classical ones couldn’t. This sparked the quantum race, which saw @Google, @IBM, and labs worldwide chasing quantum supremacy.

✨ Quantum entanglement (4/6) Once philosophy, now engineering, it powers quantum teleportation, cryptography & secure communications. Bell proved it, Ekert applied it, and a @NobelPrize followed. The “spooky action” Einstein doubted is today’s tech reality!

🧲 Spin and Pauli exclusion principle (3/6) Fermions, particles with half-integer spin, can’t occupy the same space in the same quantum state. Thanks to these discoveries, we have everything, from transistors to maglev trains and quantum computing!

⚛️ Wave-particle duality (2/6) Louis de Broglie (1924) showed particles can behave like both waves & particles. This duality underpins the photoelectric effect, paving the way for lasers, solar panels, biosensors, and modern optics. Fiber internet wouldn’t exist without it.

Without Schrödinger’s cat and quantum physics, we wouldn’t have smartphones, maglev trains, or even MRI scans! 🤯 On the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, ITMO experts shared the biggest breakthroughs shaping our world. Let's unpack them in this thread ⤵️ (1/6)

What if data could ride beams of twisted light? 🌌 ITMO scientists have found a fast, reliable way to boost free-space optical communication by shaping vortex laser beams into a “comb.” Their work has been published in @NanoLetters. Read more: https://t.co/cqTxQQszMw

AI needs to think faster, get smarter, and consume less power ⚡ That’s why ITMO scientists created an artificial optical synapse, mimicking the brain’s neurons with light. The research has been published in @ACSPublications. Read more: https://t.co/V7Co6YWACJ
