Although quantum technologies are not quite there yet, scientists have already managed to create devices that can transmit data using quantum networks, albeit for a ... | <urn:uuid:f8976f04-186b-498a-b25d-21291af1b4ec> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.mouser.in/blog/understanding-quantum-technologies | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178389798.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20210309092230-20210309122230-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.941849 | 1,936 | 3.828125 | 4 |
Nobody has built a quantum computer much more powerful than a pocket calculator but that hasn’t stopped people worrying about the implications of the post-quantum computing world. Most worried are the people who rely on cryptographic codes to protect sensitive information.

Raman scattering or the Raman effect (pronounced: Template:IPA —) is the inelastic scattering of a photon. Discovered By Dr. C.V. Raman in liquids and by Grigory Landsberg and Leonid Mandelstam in crystals.
When light is scattered from an atom or molecule, most photons are elastically scattered (Rayleigh scattering).
