AI Engineers and Scientists Are Having an 'Oppenheimer Moment' – PJ Media
16+ hour, 11+ min ago (593+ words) Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who ran the top-secret Los Alamos, N.M. lab that designed and built the atomic bomb, was one of the most complex, morally ambivalent Americans in history. Like many intellectuals in the 1930s, he rejected capitalism and searched for…...
Quantum Computer Powers New Microscope Development
16+ hour, 37+ min ago (608+ words) Electron microscopes can reveal structures far smaller than anything visible with ordinary light. But researchers in Austria say conventional electron microscopes may be leaving valuable information on the table. In a standard system, electrons are mainly counted to build an…...
Scientists are building a microscope powered by a quantum computer
18+ hour, 35+ min ago (669+ words) Electron microscopes can reveal structures far smaller than anything visible with ordinary light. But researchers in Austria say conventional electron microscopes may be leaving valuable information on the table. In a standard system, electrons are mainly counted to build an…...
Shuttling Electrons Like On A Conveyor Belt Boosts Qubit Performance
21+ hour, 37+ min ago (1358+ words) Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to…...
Scientists find a way to run error-protected quantum operations 1,000 times faster
1+ day, 14+ hour ago (1157+ words) Quantum computers face a race against time every time they perform a calculation. Their quantum states are so fragile that even tiny disturbances from electrical noise, heating, radiation or imperfect hardware can push a computation away from its intended result....
Does Consciousness Require a Body?
5+ day, 7+ hour ago (585+ words) Has your account of consciousness—how it arises and what it is—changed since 2022, when we last spoke? This was right after you published your previous book Feeling and Knowing: Making Minds Conscious. What gives you more confidence in your…...
Researchers Optimise Penning Traps For Single-Electron Qubits
2+ day, 13+ hour ago (877+ words) Millimetre-scale Penning traps previously relied upon approximations becoming inaccurate as device dimensions shrink. Now, an analytical solution offers precise design choices for optimising planar Penning trap geometry and voltage settings at sub-millimetre scales. This advancement minimises unwanted distortions in confining…...
