While superconducting qubits are great at fast calculations, they struggle to store information for long periods. A team at Caltech has now developed a clever solution: converting quantum information into sound waves. By using a tiny device that acts like a miniature tuning fork, the researchers were able to extend quantum memory lifetimes up to 30 times longer than before. This breakthrough could pave the way toward practical, scalable quantum computers that can both compute and remember.

In this article, you will learn: • The fundamental difference between traditional regression, which uses single fixed values for its parameters, and Bayesian regression, which models them as probability distributions.
When I picked up my daughter from summer camp, we settled in for an eight-hour drive through the Appalachian mountains, heading from North Carolina to her grandparents’ home in Kentucky. With little to no cell service for much of the drive, we enjoyed the rare opportunity to have a long, thoughtful conversation, uninterrupted by devices.…
MCP—the Model Context Protocol introduced by Anthropic in November 2024—is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to data sources and development environments. It’s built for a future where every AI assistant is wired directly into your environment, where the model knows what files you have open, what text is selected, what you just typed, […]
