Experimental set-up The key components of our experimental set-up are shown in Fig. 1a and Extended Data Fig. 1. Optical subsystem The optical subsystem performs matrix–vector multiplication. The basic components are the optical sources (input vector), a system of fan-out optics to project the light onto the modulator matrix and a system of fan-in optics to project the light onto a …

I’m typically upbeat on smart home tech and its hefty resistance to hacking, but one new vulnerability worries me. It’s called promptware (a.k.a. prompt injections), a new version of malware that targets conversational and generative AIs like Gemini, Alexa Plus or Siri now becoming so ubiquitous in our lives, and it’s about to get much more common. Promptware forces AI to …

By linking smaller superconducting modules like building blocks, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign achieved near-perfect qubit performance. Their modular approach could open the door to scalable, flexible quantum computers of the future. Credit: Shutterstock A modular quantum processor design shows ~99% fidelity. It paves the way for scalable quantum computing. What do children’s building blocks and quantum computing …

Lovable CEO Anton Osika says he thinks people should stop seeing computer science degrees as a surefire way to land a career in tech. “I wouldn’t say it’s worthless, but I do think the leverage has moved,” Osika told Business Insider in an interview on Wednesday. Osika, 35, said that while getting a computer science degree “isn’t useless,” its value …

Teenage Engineering, the hip Swedish tech/design brand that makes of all (and a portable game machine with a ) has built another computer chassis. And it’s free! But you also can’t get one, right now at least. (Sorry about that.) Described by its maker as a “small form factor, mini-ITX computer case,” the is made of a single sheet of …

Stockbird/Getty Images We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. As time goes on, a cutting-edge computer will quickly lose its value as newer components are released with greater power and more features. Computer cases generally don’t have to worry about this, as they lack a lot of moving components …

Well, the coding-equals-prosperity promise has officially collapsed. Fresh computer science graduates are facing unemployment rates of 6.1% to 7.5% — more than double what biology and art history majors are experiencing, according to a recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York study. A crushing New York Times piece highlights what’s happening on the ground. The individual stories are surreal. Manasi …

Researchers at IBM and Moderna have successfully used a quantum simulation algorithm to predict the complex secondary protein structure of a 60-nucleotide-long mRNA sequence, the longest ever simulated on a quantum computer. Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a molecule that carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes. It directs protein synthesis in cells and is used to create effective vaccines …
