Aramco signs agreement with Pasqal to deploy first quantum computer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – Aramco
Aramco, one of the worlds leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, has signed an agreement with Pasqal, a global leader in neutral atom quantum computing, to install the first quantum computer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The agreement will see Pasqal install, maintain, and operate a 200-qubit quantum computer, which is scheduled for deployment in the second half of 2025. Ahmad Al-Khowaiter, Aramco EVP of Technology & Innovation, said: Aramco is delighted to partner with Pasqal to bring cutting-edge, high-performance quantum computing capabilities to the Kingdom
Glimpse of next-generation internet – Harvard Office of Technology Development
May 20th, 2024 By Anne Manning, Harvard Staff Writer Published in the Harvard Gazette An up close photo of the diamond silicon vacancy center. Its one thing to dream up a next-generation quantum internet capable of sending highly complex, hacker-proof information around the world at ultra-fast speeds.
Exploring new frontiers with Fujitsu’s quantum computing research and development – Fujitsu
Fujitsu and RIKEN have already successfully developed a 64-qubit superconducting quantum computer at the RIKEN-RQC-Fujitsu Collaboration Center, which was jointly established by the two organizations (*1). Our interviewee, researcher Shingo Tokunaga, is currently participating in a joint research project with RIKEN. He majored in electronic engineering at university and worked on microwave-related research topics.

Alice & Bob’s Cat Qubit Research Published in Nature – HPCwire
PARIS and BOSTON, May 23, 2024 Alice & Bob, a global leader in the race for fault-tolerant quantum computing, today announced the publication of its foundational research in Nature, showcasing significant advancements in cat qubit technology. The study, Quantum control of a cat-qubit with bit-flip times exceeding ten seconds, realized in collaboration with the QUANTIC Team (Mines Paris PSL, Ecole Normale Suprieure and INRIA), demonstrates an unprecedented improvement in the stability of superconducting qubits, marking a critical milestone towards useful fault-tolerant quantum computing. The researchers have significantly extended the bit-flip times from milliseconds to tens of secondsthousands of times better than any other superconducting qubit type
Looking ahead to the AI Seoul Summit – Google DeepMind
How summits in Seoul, France and beyond can galvanize international cooperation on frontier AI safety Last year, the UK Government hosted the first major global Summit on frontier AI safety at Bletchley Park. It focused the worlds attention on rapid progress at the frontier of AI development and delivered concrete international action to respond to potential future risks, including the Bletchley Declaration; new AI Safety Institutes; and the International Scientific Report on Advanced AI Safety. Six months on from Bletchley, the international community has an opportunity to build on that momentum and galvanize further global cooperation at this weeks AI Seoul Summit

Aristotle, AI and the Data Scientist | The ILR School – Cornell University | ILR School
Nearly two and a half millennia since his time, Aristotle and his "virtue ethics" in short, to live a life of good character are every bit as relevant to budding statisticians as the technical skills they learn to build AI models, according to Elizabeth Karns, senior lecturer of statistics and data science at Cornell Bowers CIS and at the ILR School. An epidemiologist and lawyer, Karns launched Integrated Ethics in Data Science (STSCI 3600), a seven-week course offered twice each spring semester, several years ago in response to what she viewed as a disconnect between statisticians and the high-powered, high-consequence statistical models they were being asked to build. I started thinking more about algorithms and how we are not preparing students sufficiently to be confronted with workplace pressures to just get the model done Put in the data, don't question it, and just use it, she said
