According to Zander, the company’s recent work builds on a blockbuster advance that Microsoft and Quantinuum announced in the spring.

Zander writes: “In April, we announced that we’re entering the next phase for solving meaningful problems with reliable quantum computers by demonstrating the most reliable logical qubits with an error rate 800x better than physical qubits.” He adds, “In less than six months, our improved qubit-virtualization system tripled reliable logical qubit counts.”

The advance goes to the heart of a primary challenge in quantum computing today: the unreliability of physical qubits, which are prone to errors due to their highly sensitive nature. Microsoft addressed this issue by creating logical qubits, which are collections of physical qubits working together to correct errors and maintain coherence.

In a world where cancer remains a formidable foe, a glimmer of hope has emerged for those battling non-small cell lung cancer. A recent analysis by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center has unveiled a potential paradigm shift in treatment strategies that could significantly improve patients’ chances of survival.

The historic Polaris Dawn mission, which is being piloted by a New Hampshire man, launched at 5:23 a.m. Tuesday after an initial launch for 3:38 a.m. was delayed due to unfavorable weather conditions.

The mission pilot is Scott Poteet, who is from Stratham. He is joined by shuttle commander Jared Isaacman and mission specialists and SpaceX engineers Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon.

Researchers mapped changes in the brain’s architecture before, during and after propofol sedation, guided by functional magnetic resonance imaging, enabling them to monitor blood flow to areas of the brain during the (un)conscious state.

Galaxies are much bigger than we originally thought, extending far out into deep space — so far that the Milky Way likely interacts with our closest neighbor, Andromeda.

Today’s computers reach their physical limits when it comes to speed. Semiconductor components usually operate at a maximum usable frequency of a few gigahertz – which corresponds to several billion computing operations per second. As a result, modern systems rely on several chips to divide up the computing tasks because the speed of the individual chips cannot be increased any further. However, if light (photons) were used instead of electricity (electrons) in computer chips, they could be up to 1,000 times faster.

Plasmonic resonators, also known as “antennas for light”, are a promising way of achieving this leap in speed. These are nanometre-sized metal structures in which light and electrons interact. Depending on their geometry, they can interact with different light frequencies.

“The challenge is that plasmonic resonators cannot yet be effectively modulated, as is the case with transistors in conventional electronics. This hinders the development of fast light-based switches,” says Dr. Thorsten Feichtner, physicist at Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany.

Also discussed is a comparison between analog computing and digital in the context of computational biology. In this video I am reading a recent discussion of my notes with Self Aware Networks.

James Earl Jones died Monday at the age of 93. But long before he did, he gave Lucasfilm permission to recreate his iconic Darth Vader voice for shows like “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
