Quantum breakthrough researchers cut required qubits from millions to thousands
Researchers from California Institute of Technology and start-up Oratomic have demonstrated a new error-correction approach that could cut the number of qubits needed for a fault-tolerant quantum computer from millions to as few as 10,000–20,000. That is a major shift from earlier estimates of around one million qubits, long considered the main barrier to building […]
AMD moves to acquire Intel in all-stock deal
AMD has agreed to acquire Intel in an all-stock transaction that would combine the two long-time x86 rivals under one company. If completed, the deal would reshape the core of the PC and server chip market by bringing together the two dominant players in the x86 ecosystem. AMD described the agreement as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity […]
