This week in artificial intelligence (AI) news, a company is developing AI agents that could enable more lifelike interactions between businesses and customers, and quantum computing could boost AI by applying quantum principles, potentially transforming areas like medicine and cryptography. Neuroscience Meets AI: Altera’s New...
Quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) are converging, promising to push computing boundaries to transform industries and accelerate discoveries. Quantum computers harness quantum mechanics principles to perform complex calculations. They could turbocharge AI systems’ processing power by leveraging quantum bits (qubits) properties like superposition and...
World Quantum Day is coming up in a little over a week, on April 14. But the international event aimed at promoting public awareness and understanding of quantum science isn’t the infamous “Quantum Day” that has kept security experts worried since the turn of the...
Change happens slowly, and then all at once. And often, the biggest changes are the easiest to miss — particularly as they are happening all around you. Call it the eye of the storm phenomenon. This, as Microsoft and Quantinuum say that they’ve reached a new quantum computing...
