Q-Ctrl – Tackling Quantum Hardware’s Noise Problems with Software
Implementing effective error mitigation and correction is a critical next step in advancing quantum computing. While a lot of attention has been given to efforts to improve the underlying ‘noisy’ hardware, there’s been, perhaps, less spotlighting of similar efforts to...
5 mistakes robotics startups should avoid
Years ago, robots were inflexible, hard to program, stationary and, except for industries with long production runs, cost-prohibitive. Plus, they were blind, deaf, incapable of tactile sensing, unintelligent and couldn’t be trusted to work next to people. Now, thanks...
ACEINNA unveils system for autonomous vehicle positioning
ACEINNA announced the INS401 INS and GNSS/RTK solution for autonomous vehicle precise positioning. The INS401 is part of ACEINNA’s new product portfolio that provides high accuracy and high integrity localization for developers and manufacturers of ADAS and Autonomy...

Quantinuum Debuts Quantum-based Cryptographic Key Service – Is this Quantum Advantage?
Quantinuum – the newly-named company resulting from the merger of Honeywell’s quantum computing division and UK-based Cambridge Quantum – today launched Quantum Origin, a service to deliver “completely unpredictable cryptographic keys” based random numbers generated...
Solar Power Research Enlists US’s and Europe’s Most Powerful Supercomputers
Photovoltaic solar – what most people know as solar panels – generated a record 821 terawatt-hours in 2020, a 23 percent increase over 2019 and an impressive 3.1 percent of global electricity generation. But with climate change rapidly accelerating, most scientists...
Updated Exascale System for Earth Simulations Is Twice as Fast as Predecessor
The Earth — with its myriad interactions of atmosphere, oceans, land and ice components — presents an extraordinarily complex system for investigation. For researchers, simulating the dynamics of these systems has presented a process that is just as complex. But...
