There’s been a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) about the potential for generative AI to take people’s jobs. The capability of large language models (LLMs) to answer questions and handle digital tasks when prompted has caught people’s attention, for better and for worse. But what are the odds that LLMs actually will replace […]

A recent study led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers provides fundamental insight into how light, electrons, and crystal vibrations interact in materials. The research has implications for developing on-chip architectures for quantum information processing, significantly reducing fabrication constraints, and thermal management. The post Researchers Develop New Techniques to Control Light for Improved Quantum […]

If you’ve ever driven to a remote area, you may have noticed that the drive time is much longer on dirt roads. But once those roads are paved, you can get where you need to go much more quickly. The path to deploying advanced nuclear reactors isn’t a straight line, but a new supercomputer named […]

Getting intact qubits from here-to-there is the basic challenge for any quantum internet scheme. Now, scientists from the University of Chicago, Stanford University, and California Institute of Technology have introduced a completely new idea for how to transmit quantum data — using vacuum beam guides (VBG) strung together in chains. The post Researchers Propose New […]

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — a Defense Department agency that invests in breakthrough technologies for national security — and the State of Illinois are partnering to test quantum technology prototypes on the state’s soon-to-be-built quantum campus, leveraging Illinois’ recent $500 million quantum budget outlay and the region’s deep bench of world-leading scientists to […]

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2024 to John J. Hopfield, Princeton University, and Geoffrey E. Hinton, University of Toronto, “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” The post Nobel Prize in Physics 2024 Awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey […]

In a recent paper,  the authors suggest that AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data points from previous LLM models. Basically, the snake is eating its tail. Generative-AI has been successful in mining the Internet to create large LLM models that provide human-like answers to many problems. In particular, creating new text has […]

After much anticipation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued its first Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards today. They are intended to defeat efforts by quantum computers powerful enough to decrypt data and communications that have been encrypted mostly using the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) cryptosystem. This is significant step forward and expected to prompt […]

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been awarded more than 3 million node hours on the nation’s most powerful computers to explore questions around pathogens, climate and energy-efficient microelectronics.
