A tiny supercurrent could unlock quantum information without destroying it

Researchers have proposed a breakthrough technique for reading quantum information without destroying the delicate states that make quantum computers work. By detecting an electrical signal generated by the qubit itself, their method achieved up to 99.85% accuracy in simulations and could make future quantum computers simpler and more efficient.

AI learns to predict the world without ever seeing it

Almost every artificial intelligence system we know begins in the same way: it is exposed to vast amounts of information from the real world—books, websites, images and recordings—and trained to identify patterns within it. A new study involving researchers from Tel Aviv University and Stanford University raises another possibility: Can a system develop general learning …
