Inside Short New research from Caltech and Oratomic suggests that fault-tolerant quantum computers may only need 10,000-20,000 qubits—much fewer than previously thought—which could speed up times up to this decade. The team has developed highly efficient quantum error correction systems using systems of neutral atoms, reducing the number of physical qubits from 1,000 to five. … Read more
A whale’s first season at sea reveals more than just birth. They show a level of care, cooperation, and communication that scientists are only beginning to understand. An international research group called Project CETI, also known as the Cetacean Translation Initiative, has reported one of the most detailed whale births ever recorded. The … Read more
