Quebec Startup Claims Quantum Breakthrough in Error Correction
Nord Quantique says it has demonstrated a key step toward practical quantum computing — using a single qubit to detect its own errors without additional hardware. The Sherbrooke-based startup announced Thursday it has successfully encoded error detection into its own quantum device — a crucial milestone on the path to fault-tolerant quantum computing. If the […]
New Deepfakes Can Mimic Heartbeats, Evading Detection Tools
Deepfakes just got more convincing — and harder to catch. A new study shows AI-generated videos can now simulate human heartbeats, defeating some of the most advanced deepfake detection systems. Published in Frontiers in Imaging, the research reveals that modern deepfakes can replicate subtle physiological signals like pulse variations across a person’s face. These signals […]
RBC Pushes Employees Back to Office to Preserve ‘Winning Culture’
The Royal Bank of Canada will require employees to work in the office four days a week by year-end, citing in-person collaboration as key to productivity and innovation. According to a memo obtained by The Globe and Mail, the policy shift builds on the bank’s 2023 guidance, which encouraged mostly in-office work with limited remote […]
