Quantum computer simulates two types of bizarre materials

Science News: Scientists have used a quantum computer to conduct large-scale simulations of two types of quantum materials. These studies involved about 2,000 quantum bits, or qubits — many more than the tens of qubits available in most quantum computers. The…

Uncrackable computer chips stop malicious bugs attacking your computer

New Scientist: Even if you’re not a hacker or a coder, chances are you will have heard names like Stuxnet, NotPetya or WannaCry. After all, these malicious programs have made big waves in the past few years. First it was Iran’s…

OpenAI Demonstrates Complex Manipulation Transfer from Simulation to Real World

IEEE Spectrum: In-hand manipulation is one of those things that’s fairly high on the list of “skills that are effortless for humans but extraordinarily difficult for robots.” Without even really…

3D-printed Deep Learning neural network uses light instead of electrons

New Atlas: It’s a novel idea, using light diffracted through numerous plates instead of electrons. And to some, it might seem a little like replacing a computer with an abacus,…
