Self-Correcting Quantum Computers Nearer to Reality

Quantum computers could reach speeds and efficiency beyond the capabilities of even the fastest supercomputers. The technology hasn’t yet seen much commercialization or scaling up, largely due to its difficulty with error correction. Scientists have created a technique that could help solve this issue.

In an increasingly digital age the issue of lag can be a major problem. If it’s a video gamer fighting with opponents in a virtual battle or a colleague working around the world, lag-related interruptions can be a major source of frustration. But researchers at MIT and Stanford have created a revolutionary method to reduce the amount of lag and improve productivity.

AI detects patterns that are hidden in the natural world

Researchers are using data from thousands of bird sightings to identify hidden patterns in ecological communities. This research could be the first step towards developing an artificial intelligence that can identify the risk of habitat loss as well as other environmental problems. The technology will also allow scientists to better understand the role played by biodiversity of species in maintaining ecosystems. This is a crucial aspect of the effort to save the world from the effects of climate change and loss of biodiversity. The discovery could lead the development of more sustainable land-use practices that limit the need for agriculture as well as the need for logging.
