Quantum Computing
Chinese researchers say a nine-qubit quantum system beat a 10,000-node classical network at weather prediction for under 1% of the cost, a hint that compact quantum machines could undercut today’s giant AI data centres.
Lloyds Bank has used IBM quantum hardware to successfully flag a money mule hidden in transaction data, an early sign quantum computing could sharpen banks’ fraud defences.
Multiverse Computing ran a pretrained Llama model through quantum circuit blocks on IBM’s 156-qubit machine and cut its perplexity while adding almost no parameters — the first end-to-end “quantum enhancement” of a production LLM.
Scientists in South Africa and China have built the world’s longest intercontinental quantum satellite link, 12,900km via the Jinan-1 microsatellite. Using quantum key distribution, it secured image transfers with physics-guaranteed encryption – the first such link in the Southern Hemisphere.
