Major First: Quantum Information Produced, Stored, And Retrieved – ScienceAlert
The potential of quantum computing is immense, but the distances over which entangled particles can reliably carry information remains a massive hurdle. The tiniest of disturbances can make a scrambled mess of their relationship. To circumvent the problem, quantum computing researchers have found ways to stabilize long lengths of optical fibers or used satellites to preserve signals through the near-vacuum of space.
‘Quantum internet’ connection finally achieved in historic breakthrough – – Study Finds
LONDON Quantum computing is more than just a dream for scientists and engineers: it is a reality that awaits us. When we arrive at this reality that was once sci-fi fodder remains the question
Tiny, entangled universes that form or fizzle out a theory of the quantum multiverse – Aeon
In recent decades, cosmic inflation theory has largely settled the once-daunting existential question of How did the Universe begin?
D-Wave Introduces New Fast Anneal Feature, Extending Quantum Computing Performance Gains – HPCwire
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 18, 2024 D-Wave Quantum Inc., a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the worlds first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today launched the fast-anneal feature, available on all of D-Waves quantum processing units (QPUs) in the Leap real-time quantum cloud service. The fast-anneal feature has been a key part of D-Waves research milestones, including work published in Nature Physics (2022) and Nature (2023), demonstrating the advantages of annealing quantum computing over classical algorithms for solving complex optimization problems
WashU Expert: DeFake tool protects voice recordings from cybercriminals – The Source – Washington University in St. Louis
A new tool developed by computer scientist Ning Zhang embeds distortions imperceptible to human ears into audio recordings to prevent them from being cloned by cybercriminals. (Image: Canva) In what has become a familiar refrain when discussing artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies, voice cloning makes possible beneficial advances in accessibility and creativity while also enabling increasingly sophisticated scams and deepfakes.
Wayne State researcher aims to improve coding peer review practices – Newswise
DETROIT Amiangshu Bosu, Ph.D., assistant professor of computer science in the College of Engineering at Wayne State University, received a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to formulate better practices involving peer code review. Peer code review is a mandatory software verification practice among most open source and commercial software development organizations. In this practice, one or more peers inspect and approve a code change before integrating it into a project's repository.
