Research Team Finds Effective Quantum Computers Can Be Built With About 10,000 Qubits

qubits

Inside Short New research from Caltech and Oratomic suggests that fault-tolerant quantum computers may only need 10,000-20,000 qubits—much fewer than previously thought—which could speed up times up to this decade. The team has developed highly efficient quantum error correction systems using systems of neutral atoms, reducing the number of physical qubits from 1,000 to five. … Read more

Trump’s ‘Team of God’ has chosen to drill for oil over endangered species in the Gulf. This whale may be particularly vulnerable CNN

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum speaks during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on March 26.

Several high-ranking Trump officials who make up the so-called “God team” voted on Tuesday to repeal the old Endangered Species Act in the Gulf of Mexico, freeing up oil and gas drilling.
