Baidu Releases Superconducting Quantum Computer and World’s First All-Platform Integration Solution, Making Quantum Computing Within Reach

“Everyone can quantum.”

Chinese multinational technology company Baidu just released its first quantum computer on Thursday. The first superconducting quantum computer, “Qian Shi” can integrate hardware, software, and many applications. Baidu also introduced the world’s first all-platform quantum hardware-software integration solution — Liang Xi — that provides access to various quantum chips via mobile app, PC, and cloud.

Qian Shi is expected to solve data that a standard computer cannot calculate and problems that cannot be solved. This development is also thought to be a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, computational biology, material simulation, and financial technology.

Qian Shi offers a stable and substantial quantum computing service to the public with high-fidelity 10 quantum bits (qubits) of power. Apart from Qian Shi, Baidu has recently developed the design of a 36-qubit superconducting quantum chip.

Humans Vs Robots: Who Should Take Over Space Exploration?

Since we began space exploration in the mid-20th century, space agencies have relied on sending humans and robots into space. But should we leave space exploration entirely to robots?

Or should we consider sending humans to explore a new space world instead of robots? You are about to find satisfying answers to these curious questions.

Unlike traveling from one destination to another on Earth, exploring space comes with greater responsibilities. Space agencies hoping to explore a new space world must make a lot of planning to guarantee their success.

Supercomputer Emulator—AI’s New Role in Science

Bishop: They can still be computationally very expensive. Additionally, emulators learn from data, so they’re typically not more accurate than the data used to train them. Moreover, they may give insufficiently accurate results when presented with scenarios that are markedly different from those on which they’re trained.

“I believe in “use-inspired basic research”—[like] the work of Pasteur. He was a consultant for the brewing industry. Why did this beer keep going sour? He basically founded the whole field of microbiology.” —Chris Bishop, Microsoft Research.

“Half of Twitter’s roughly 7,000 full-time workers have complete access to its code and user confidential data” Says its former chief security officer Peiter Zatko

Twitter executives misled federal regulators and the company’s own board about “extreme and egregious shortcomings” in its defenses against hackers and its meager efforts to combat bots, said a former chief security officer Peiter Zatko.

What happens inside Twitter?

The document describes Twitter as a chaotic and aimless company beset by infighting, unable to adequately protect its 238 million daily users, which include government agencies, heads of state and other influential public figures.

Google Adds AI Language Skills To Alphabet’s Helper Robots

Google’s parent firm, Alphabet, has long been working on multipurpose robots.

The fleet of “Everyday Robots,” as they are colloquially called, has recently been upgraded with sophisticated AI language systems so that they can better comprehend human speech.

Unlike other robots, which can only understand clear directions like “bring me a drink of water,” the fleet can now understand and act on more subtle ones.

A deep learning framework to enhance the capabilities of a robotic sketching agent

In recent years, deep learning algorithms have achieved remarkable results in a variety of fields, including artistic disciplines. In fact, many computer scientists worldwide have successfully developed models that can create artistic works, including poems, paintings and sketches.

Researchers at Seoul National University have recently introduced a new artistic framework, which is designed to enhance the skills of a sketching . Their framework, introduced in a paper presented at ICRA 2022 and pre-published on arXiv, allows a sketching robot to learn both stroke-based rendering and motor control simultaneously.

“The primary motivation for our research was to make something cool with non-rule-based mechanisms such as deep learning; we thought drawing is a cool thing to show if the drawing performer is a learned robot instead of human,” Ganghun Lee, the first author of the paper, told TechXplore. “Recent deep learning techniques have shown astonishing results in the artistic area, but most of them are about generative models which yield whole pixel outcomes at once.”
