Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Qubits for a Programmable, Solid-State Superconducting Processor
Long-Lived Coherent Quantum States in a Superconducting Device for Quantum Information Technology Scientists have been able to demonstrate for the first time that large numbers of quantum bits, or qubits, can be tuned to interact with each other while maintaining coherence for an unprecedentedly long time, in a programmable, solid-state superconducting processor. This breakthrough was…

The coherent simulation of a quantum phase transition in a programmable 2,000 qubit Ising chain
Quantum computers have the potential to outperform classical computers on several complex tasks, yet many challenges will need to be overcome before they reach their full potential. In the meantime, physicists and computer scientists have been trying to realistically estimate the capabilities that quantum computing technologies will exhibit in the near future. Quantum simulations—realizations of…

Facebook just published an update on its futuristic brain-typing project
Facebook has released an update on its ambitious plans for a brain-reading computer interface, thanks to a team of Facebook Reality Labs-backed scientists at the University of California, San Francisco. The UCSF researchers just published the results of an experiment in decoding people’s speech using implanted electrodes. Their work demonstrates a method of quickly “reading” whole words and phrases…

I tried the wristband that lets you control computers with your brain
Thomas Reardon, the CEO and co-founder of neuroscience startup CTRL-Labs, does not want to hear about brain implants. “There’s nothing you can do with a chip in your brain that we can’t do better,” Reardon tells me during a visit to CTRL-Labs’ cramped Manhattan office. Between us on a conference table, there’s a device that…

Brain Computer Interaction (BCI): A Way to Interact with Brain Waves
Can you login to a computer without coming into physical contact with it, i.e., with your mind? With this process, a new biometric feature can be developed for authenticating a computer user in real-time, which involves brain waves. Or, can you control the security of a computer by changing the password with your thoughts? Sounds…

DeepMind AI finds new way to multiply numbers and speed up computers
An artificial intelligence created by the firm DeepMind has discovered a new way to multiply numbers, the first such advance in over 50 years. The find could boost some computation speeds by up to 20 per cent, as a range of software relies on carrying out the task at great scale. Matrix multiplication – where…
