New method to systematically find optimal quantum operation sequences for quantum computers developed

Computer scientists have succeeded in developing a method for systematically finding the optimal quantum operation sequence for a quantum computer. They have developed a systematic method that applies optimal control theory (GRAPE algorithm) to identify the theoretically optimal sequence from among all conceivable quantum operation sequences. This method is expected to become a useful tool …

Silicon image sensor that computes

Researchers have developed the first in-sensor processor that could be integrated into commercial silicon imaging sensor chips — known as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors — that are used in nearly all commercial devices that need capture visual information, including smartphones.

AI pilot can navigate crowded airspace

Researchers have developed an AI pilot that enables autonomous aircraft to navigate a crowded airspace. The artificial intelligence can safely avoid collisions, predict the intent of other aircraft, track aircraft and coordinate with their actions, and communicate over the radio with pilots and air traffic controllers. The researchers aim to develop the AI so the …
