The brain is an exceptionally powerful computing machine. Scientists have long tried to recreate its inner workings in mechanical minds. A team from IBM may have cracked the code with NorthPole, a fully digital chip […]
In June, an IBM computing executive claimed quantum computers were entering the “utility” phase, in which high-tech experimental devices become useful. In September, Australia’s chief scientist Cathy Foley went so far as to declare “the […]
One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite all the hype around […]
One of the biggest stumbling blocks for quantum computers is their tendency to be error-prone and the massive computational overhead required to clean up their mistakes. IBM has now made a breakthrough by dramatically reducing […]
ChatGPT, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and other generative AIs have taken the world by storm. They create fabulous poetry and images. They’re seeping into every nook of our world, from marketing to writing legal briefs and […]
The Digital Future May Rely on Optical Switches a Million Times Faster Than Today’s Transistors0 (0)
If you’ve ever wished you had a faster phone, computer, or internet connection, you’ve encountered the personal experience of hitting a limit of technology. But there might be help on the way. Over the past […]
Since the start of the quantum race Microsoft has placed its bets on the elusive but potentially game-changing topological qubit. Now the company claims its hail Mary has paid off, saying it could build a […]
Quantum computers may soon tackle problems that stump today’s powerful supercomputers—even when riddled with errors. Computation and accuracy go hand in hand. But a new collaboration between IBM and UC Berkeley showed that perfection isn’t […]
A weird and wonderful array of technologies are competing to become the standard-bearer for quantum computing. The latest contender wants to encode quantum information in sound waves. One thing all quantum computers have in common […]
