Researchers discovered quantum circuits compressed with tensor networks exhibit predictable structures—RZZ for Ising models, fSim for Heisenberg XXZ. Retaining subtle Weyl structures enables more efficient compression and extends simulation capabilities on current hardware.
The FT asks whether managers should be paid less when AI agents replace their employees. I think the bigger question is whether individual contributors should be paid more when agents help them deliver the work of entire teams. AI may force tech companies to reward impact instead of headcount.
Researchers demonstrated quantum interference stabilizing atomic bound states above their normal dissociation threshold using Floquet-engineered Feshbach resonances in ultracold lithium, enabling active control of quantum system decay—a long-predicted phenomenon finally experi...
Multiple organizations achieved major milestones in quantum error correction: IBM verified code distances accurately, NVIDIA demonstrated eight-qubit correction with AI optimization, and companies reported record revenue growth driving commercial adoption.
Quantum games now span three fundamentally different categories—games using real quantum processors for content generation, educational games teaching quantum concepts on classical machines, and citizen science games where players solve research problems. These should not be c...

The key to the movement of these flexible robots is the algae’s photosynthetic capabilities.
Demand for defunct companies’ data emerged suddenly last year, as AI training labs hit the limits of public and synthetic datasets.
The AI detector will now check your incoming emails for machine-generated text.
Pig kidneys that were cooled to -150 °C and stored in a freezer for months have been successfully rewarmed and shown to work again for the first time, say scientists. They hope to replicate the findings with human organs.
Upgrades could bring more clean power to the grid, but there's only so much room to grow.
DARPA is funding a redoubled effort to develop a shelf-stable substitute for what field medics and trauma doctors need most: more blood.
AI agents are transforming the internet. What do we stand to lose in the process?
The AI hyperscalers will likely spend more than $1 trillion on data centers next year. Can they make enough money to sustain the infrastructure boom?
Inside Dario Amodei’s Mind: The Anthropic CEO’s thinking on A.I. has earned him supporters — and enemies. Here’s how his views were shaped.
