QuEra’s quantum computers run on lasers held at exact frequencies, a precision no eye can see and only the atoms can distinguish
Keeping a laser there is a continuous act: temperature, vibration, and pressure push it off target all day, and layered feedback pushes it back. When the feedback loop fails, the lock breaks and the machine stops. Bringing it back has historically taken one specific expert: someone who knows the lasers intuitively and has experience with the exact recovery sequence required to return it to the right state. If the lock broke in the middle of the night, that person had to drive to the lab and fix it.
This is not a new problem, and QuEra has built automatic relocking for common disturbances. Aquila, our production QPU available through Amazon Braket, already runs with excellent uptime exceeding 99%. But the team knew that the level of human involvement in relocking, particularly for the less frequent but more severe disturbances, was not scalable. As a result, this spring QuEra deployed the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a standard that started as a collaboration between Anthropic and HHMI Janelia Research Campus. A cross-functional task force took relocking to another level: the level that scalable deployment of logical QPUs will demand. Working through MHS on a dedicated testbed, with an AI agent in operational control of roughly $0.7M of precision hardware inside human-set safety bounds, the lock now comes back in seconds: verified, on target, with no one in the building. And then the same approach went one step further.
Candida on urinary catheters can be more than contamination, patient samples suggest
Relying on a urinary catheter is a standard part of medical care for hundreds of thousands of patients each year. Unfortunately, the device carries the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), for which bacteria are widely recognized as the primary cause. And yet, many patients face a growing threat from another pathogen: a fungus, Candida albicans.
Research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by University of Notre Dame associate professors of biological sciences Ana Flores-Mireles and Felipe Santiago-Tirado shows how the fungus works in the bladder, potentially changing the way doctors treat and diagnose CAUTIs.
Scientists Discover a Cannabis Receptor That Could Stop Breast Cancer Spreading
Cancer cells are proving trickier than we thought, so scientists are getting even trickier to shift the survival odds in our favor. Recent medical research has highlighted a significant issue: cancer cells display plasticity. Some cancer cells can spontaneously revert from a differentiated state to become ‘immature’ and stem-cell-like again, switching their identity to yield more diverse, aggressive, and proliferative tumors.
