Obviously, everyone will wonder if it’s worth losing that headset jack and physical F4 key, but we’d guess there are plenty of folks that would call those worthy sacrifices to get a 14-core CPU in a laptop weighing less than three pounds. CES returned to Las Vegas in 2022, but most of the major PC players decided to stick to the safety of remote events. Big names AMD, Intel, and Nvidia all made splashy announcements, and PC manufacturers followed in their wake with new products, many coming soon. We also witnessed some deeply interesting reveals that had nothing to do with computers whatsoever, like a chameleon-like color-shifting BMW. A not-for-profit organization, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. This document was a team effort, spearheaded by a core team of authors who formulated the … Read more

“Also, we can operate at somewhat higher temperatures.” PsiQuantum has raised half a billion dollars. Microsoft, building on Kitaev’s work, is attempting to construct a “topological” qubit, which requires synthesizing an elusive particle in order to work. Intel is trying the “silicon spin” approach, which embeds qubits in semiconductors. “If you have an advanced degree in quantum physics, you can go out into the job market and get five offers in three weeks,” Kim said.

Bell’s paper provided Clauser with a way to put his objections to the test. Against the advice of his professors—including Richard Feynman—he decided to run an experiment that would vindicate Einstein, by proving that the theory of quantum mechanics was incomplete. In 1969, Clauser wrote a letter to Bell, informing him of his intentions. Bell responded with delight; no one had ever written to him about his theorem before. Shor then turned to me. “O.K., … Read more
