Unfortunately, those patterns are hidden inside data sets so large that they overwhelm classical solvers. Infleqtion uses the quantum computer to find correlations in the data that can reduce the size of... Read more »
The prize will go to the quantum computer that can solve real health care problems that conventional “classical” computers are unable to solve. But there can be only one big winner—if there... Read more »

My reporting also helped answer another question that was lingering in my brain: Why doesn’t the world recycle more nuclear waste? There’s still a lot of usable uranium in spent nuclear fuel... Read more »
Now off-the-shelf technology—Starlink terminals, plug-and-play nautical autopilots, high-resolution video cameras—may be advancing that cat-and-mouse game into a new phase. Uncrewed subs could move more cocaine over longer distances, and they wouldn’t put human smugglers... Read more »
On the other hand, some other reactor designs could produce a smaller volume of spent fuel, but that isn’t necessarily a smaller problem. Fast reactors, for example, achieve a higher burn-up, consuming... Read more »
Training versions of AI models on classified data is expected to make them more accurate and effective in certain tasks, according to a US defense official who spoke on background with MIT... Read more »
Quote of the day “The inference inflection has arrived.” —Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claims we’ve reached a tipping point where AI usage is accelerating faster than its development, AP reports. One More Thing Meet the... Read more »
It’s unclear what OpenAI’s motivations are. It’s not the first tech giant to embrace military contracts it had once vowed never to enter into, but the speed of the pivot was notable.... Read more »
The accountability challenge: It’s not them, it’s you Until now, governance has been focused on model output risks with humans in the loop before consequential decisions were made—such as with loan approvals... Read more »
