Vitalik Buterin talks ways to make zk proofs more efficient – Blockworks
Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has released a new blog post discussing a new cryptographic proving system that can make zero-knowledge proofs more efficient. The proving system, called Binius, is designed to operate directly over binary code on computers. Binary code is a language understood by computers, and it is used to store information and represents data using the symbols zero and one, otherwise known as bits
Vitalik Buterin Promises Easier Ethereum Proofs with Bizarre "New Math" – CCN.com
Key Takeaways In a cryptic tweet,Ethereumco-founder Vitalik Buterin introduced what he called new math.The series of equations could simplify the process of making cryptographic proofsandthe industry has various interpretations for the statements. Vitalik Buterins tweet listed several unconventional equations like 2 + 2 = 0 and 420 * 61779 = 1, which atfirst glance,defy basic arithmetic principles. However, according to Adam Cochran, Partnerat Cinneamhain Ventures, these equations could illustrate the concept of modular arithmetica system wherenumbers wrap around upon reaching acertainvalue, much like the hours on a clock
Ethereum’s Buterin advocates multisig, says Shamir backup is ‘way easier to screw up’ – crypto.news
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly favored multisig over Shamir backup, saying the latter is way easier to screw up for ordinary users. In an X discussion among crypto enthusiasts, worries about the security risks linked to cold wallets have taken center stage, prompted by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterins raised concerns regarding their potential pitfalls. Peter Watts, the founder of NFT marketplace Reservoir, went on X to caution about the dangers of using hardware wallets, mentioning the risk of losing seed phrases or hastily moving assets stored in a banks safety deposit box, especially during unexpected events like the COVID-19 pandemic.

History Shows How to Win the Quantum Computing Race – TIME
In 1981, physicist Richard Feynman first theorized the creation of quantum computers that harnessed the principles of quantum physics to process calculations that would take standard computers millennia or longer to compute. Over the next four decades, however, research failed to advance significantly enough for the machines to have much impact on society. But breakthroughs in 2023 signaled that quantum computers have embarked on a new era, one that may unleash a technological revolution full of possibilitiessome good and some bad

JPMorgan Chase and AWS study the prospects for quantum speedups with near-term Rydberg atom arrays | Amazon … – AWS Blog
This post was contributed by Martin Schuetz, Ruben Andrist, Grant Salton, and Helmut Katzgraber from the Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab, and Pierre Minssen, Romina Yalovetzky, Shouvanik Chakrabarti, Dylan Herman, Niraj Kumar, Ruslan Shaydulin, Yue Sun, and Marco Pistoia from JPMorgan Chase Many companies face combinatorial optimization problems and across both science and industry there are prominent examples in areas like transportation and logistics, telecommunications, manufacturing, and finance.Analog neutral-atom quantum machines can provide a novel platform to design and implement quantum optimization algorithms, with scientists in both industry and academia searching for the most promising types of problems for which an early quantum advantage could be demonstrated. Over the past year, the Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab (QSL) has worked together with the Global Technology Applied Research team at JPMorgan Chase to conduct a systematic study of the hardness of certain optimization problems, inspired by real-world use cases in finance. In this post, well describe our project and summarize the key results.

The $1 Billion Bet on Quantum Computers That Process Light – DISCOVER Magazine
In the battle to build the worlds first useful quantum computers, one company has taken an entirely different approach to the other frontrunners. The conventional approach is to gradually increase the size and power of these devices and test as you go. But PsiQuantum, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, is gambling on the opposite approach
