It was another good week for physics as an international team of researchers offered new confirmation of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity by using the Hubble Space Telescope to measure shifts in the apparent position of a star. Also, a team of researchers from several institutions in China demonstrated solving systems of linear equations with quantum mechanics—offering more evidence that if true quantum computers are ever made, they will likely be able to fulfill expectations. And a team of physicists reviewed three experiments that hinted at a phenomenon beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
