Quantum physicists have shrunk and “de-censored” DeepSeek R1
To test how well it worked, the researchers compiled a data set of around 25 questions on topics known to be restricted in Chinese models,...
Reimagining cybersecurity in the era of AI and quantum
At the same time, companies must strengthen the security of their AI models and data to reduce exposure to manipulation from AI-enabled malware. Such risks...
A new ion-based quantum computer makes error correction simpler
Helios is noteworthy for its qubits’ precision, says Rajibul Islam, a physicist at the University of Waterloo in Canada, who is not affiliated with Quantinuum....
Creating a qubit fit for a quantum future
For the team at Nokia Bell Labs, the solution lies in better qubits rather than bigger machines. Specifically, rather than information encoded in individual elementary...
The Download: A quantum radar, and chipmakers’ deal with the US government
Physicists have created a new type of radar that could help improve underground imaging, using a cloud of atoms in a glass cell to detect...
This quantum radar could image buried objects
The glass cell that serves as the radar’s quantum component is full of cesium atoms kept at room temperature. The researchers use lasers to get...
