Quantum Computing’s Growth Curve Is Similar to Earliest Stages of AI, Top Physicist Says – Yicai Global
(Yicai) July 19 -- Quantum computing is on a development growth curve similar to artificial intelligence in its earliest stages, but there must be caution against unrealistic bubbles, according to the executive dean of the University of Science and Technology's Shanghai institute for advanced studies. Quantum computers are a new tool, similar to others in their role in scientific development, and they can significantly boost scientific progress, Lu Chaoyang recently said. Quantum computing is a new computing paradigm that performs calculations by manipulating qubits based on the principles of quantum mechanics.
Paving the Way to Extremely Fast, Compact Computer Memory – The University of Texas at Austin
AUSTIN, Texas For decades, scientists have been studying a group of unusual materials called multiferroics that could be useful for a range of applications including computer memory, chemical sensors and quantum computers. In a study published in Nature, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin and the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) demonstrated that the layered multiferroic material nickel iodide (NiI2) may be the best candidate yet for devices that are extremely fast and compact. Multiferroics have a special property called magnetoelectric coupling, which means that you can manipulate magnetic properties of the material with an electric field and vice versa, electric properties with magnetic fields.
MAS steps up support for AI and quantum computing capabilities – Central Banking
End of drawer navigation content Skip to main content Central bank to provide extra S$100 million for financial institutions to explore new technologies The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said on July 18 that it would provide an additional S$100 million (US$74 million) to support the use of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) in the financial sector. The MAS said ina statement that it would provide the funding under its Financial Sector Technology and Innovation Grant Scheme (FSTI 3.0), a programme aimed atsupporting innovation in the financial sector.
Oxford Researchers Reveal Pioneering Chip: 3-Year Quantum Mass Production Possible – CCN.com
Key Takeaways Since the first quantum computers were built in the late 1990s, the field has made some significant breakthroughs. But nearly 3 decades later, quantum hardware that can be manufactured at scale and applied to real-world computing challenges remains elusive. One startup hoping to address the problem is Oxford Ionics, which recently unveiled a new quantum chip it says can be produced by a standard semiconductor fabrication plant and doesnt require costly error correction techniques.
A huge race is on to develop quantum technologies. The time to discuss risks is now – The Conversation
The United Nations has proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. The goal is to recognise the importance of quantum science and the need for wider awareness of its past and future impact. But why quantum?
Chinese companies offer to ‘resurrect’ deceased loved ones with AI avatars – NPR
Sun Kai, the co-founder of Silicon Intelligence, speaks with an AI avatar of his late mother whenever he feels stressed at work. Aowen Cao/NPR hide caption TAIPEI, Taiwan Whenever stress at work builds, Chinese tech executive Sun Kai turns to his mother for support. Or rather, he talks with her digital avatar on a tablet device, rendered from the shoulders upby artificial intelligence to look and sound just like his flesh-and-blood mother, who died in 2018.
Big data, social media and artificial intelligence will poison the 2024 election – Iowa Capital Dispatch
When news became digital at the turn of the century, I prophesied in Interpersonal Divide: The Search for Community in a Technological Age that people would seek affirmation over information, which the web readily provides, putting newspapers out of business and undermining democracy.
