Researchers have revolutionized quantum sensing with an algorithm that simplifies the assessment of Quantum Fisher Information, thereby enhancing the precision and utility of quantum sensors in capturing minute phenomena.

Quantum sensors help physicists understand the world better by measuring time passage, gravity fluctuations, and other effects at the tiniest scales. For example, one quantum sensor, the LIGO gravitational wave detector, uses quantum entanglement (or the interdependence of quantum states between particles) within a laser beam to detect distance changes in gravitational waves up to one thousand times smaller than the width of a proton!

LIGO isn’t the only quantum sensor harnessing the power of quantum entanglement. This is because entangled particles are generally more sensitive to specific parameters, giving more accurate measurements.

This robot is equipped with AI-backed deep learning algorithms to autonomously manage assisting users with underlying physiological conditions.

The robot illustrated seamless functioning that supports users in walking, standing, and climbing stairs or ramps. Scientists call it, a “unified control framework.”

Particles colliding in accelerators produce numerous cascades of secondary particles. The electronics processing the signals avalanching in from the detectors then have a fraction of a second in which to assess whether an event is of sufficient interest to save it for later analysis. In the near future, this demanding task may be carried out using algorithms based on AI, the development of which involves scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the PAS.

Significant advancements have been made in quantum computing, with major international companies like Google and IBM now providing quantum computing services via the cloud. Nevertheless, quantum computers are not yet capable of addressing issues that arise when conventional computers hit their performance ceilings. This limitation is primarily the availability of qubits or quantum bits, i.e., the basic units of quantum information, is still insufficient.

One of the reasons for this is that bare qubits are not of immediate use for running a quantum algorithm. While the binary bits of customary computers store information in the form of fixed values of either 0 or 1, qubits can represent 0 and 1 at one and the same time, bringing probability as to their value into play. This is known as quantum superposition.

This makes them very susceptible to external influences, which means that the information they store can readily be lost. In order to ensure that quantum computers supply reliable results, it is necessary to generate a genuine entanglement to join together several physical qubits to form a logical qubit. Should one of these physical qubits fail, the other qubits will retain the information. However, one of the main difficulties preventing the development of functional quantum computers is the large number of physical qubits required.

MIT CSAIL researchers introduce FeatUp, a model-agnostic framework designed to significantly enhance the spatial resolution of deep learning features for improved performance in computer vision tasks such as semantic segmentation, depth prediction, and object detection.

At some point, theoretical physics shades into science fiction. This is a beautiful little book, by a celebrated physicist and writer, about a phenomenon that is permitted by equations but might not actually exist. Or perhaps white holes do exist, and are everywhere: we just haven’t noticed them yet. No such controversy exists about black holes, wh…

Looking into the future, quantum computing and neuromorphic chips are new technologies taking us into unexplored areas. Quantum computing works differently than regular computers, allowing for faster problem-solving, realistic simulation of molecular interactions, and quicker decryption of codes. It is not just a sci-fi idea anymore; it’s becoming a real possibility.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the quest for hardware that can keep pace with the burgeoning computational demands is relentless. A significant breakthrough in this quest has been achieved through a collaborative effort spearheaded by Purdue University, alongside the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles (ESPCI) in Paris. This collaboration marks a pivotal advancement in the field of neuromorphic computing, a revolutionary approach that seeks to emulate the human brain’s mechanisms within computing architecture.
