A nuanced perspective on quantum communication
As quantum computing continues to develop, it introduces a threat to modern-day security standards. Quantum computing can’t break our widely used encryption methods today, but it threatens them with the possibility of decryption of saved messages in the future. We must not only protect our data from decryption today but future-proof our encryption so that […]
LUCI in The Surface Codes With Drop Outs: Google Quantum AI Researchers Report Framework Could Help Reduce Errors
Insider Brief Google Quantum AI researchers report a new error correction framework — that they call LUCI for the L-, U-, C-, and I-shaped diagrams that are used in the framework — may help address a fundamental challenge in the scaling of quantum computers: how to maintain fault tolerance in systems where some qubits and […]
Researchers: With Quantum Power Comes Quantum Responsibility
Insider Brief Quantum technologies are emerging rapidly, offering new capabilities in health, communications, transportation and finance, to name a few. However, a team of scientists writing in Nature warns that the absence of robust ethical frameworks for these technologies could lead to significant risks, including privacy violations, cyberattacks and the development of new forms of […]

Scientists Try to Time Quantum Entanglement
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum theory describes events that take place on extremely short time scales. In the past, such events were regarded as ‘momentary’ or ‘instantaneous’: An electron orbits the nucleus of an atom – in the next moment it is suddenly ripped out by a flash of light. Two particles collide – […]
