Researchers find what makes AI chatbots politically persuasive
A massive study of political persuasion shows AIs have, at best, a weak effect. Roughly two years ago, Sam Altman […]
AI trained on bacterial genomes produces never-before-seen proteins
The researchers argue that this setup lets Evo “link nucleotide-level patterns to kilobase-scale genomic context.” In other words, if you […]
New quantum hardware puts the mechanics in quantum mechanics
As a test case, the machine was used to test a model of superconductivity. Quantum computers based on ions or […]
Google has a useful quantum algorithm that outperforms a supercomputer
An approach it calls “quantum echoes” takes 13,000 times longer on a supercomputer. The work relied on Google’s current-generation quantum […]
Robots eating other robots: The benefits of machine metabolism
If you define “metabolism” loosely enough, these robots may have one. For decades we’ve been trying to make the robots […]
Microsoft lays out its path to useful quantum computing
Its platform needs error correction that works with different hardware. Some of the optical hardware needed to make Atom Computing’s […]
IBM is now detailing what its first quantum compute system will look like
Company is moving past focus on qubits, shifting to functional compute units. A rendering of what IBM expects will be […]
Startup puts a logical qubit in a single piece of hardware
A bit over a year ago, Nord Quantique used a similar setup to show that it could be used to […]
Beyond qubits: Meet the qutrit (and ququart)
Skip to content It’s relatively easy to store multiple quantum values in one piece of hardware. It’s possible to go […]
