Quantum computers and quantum communication are groundbreaking technologies that enable faster and more secure data processing and transmission compared to traditional computers. In quantum computers, qubits serve as the fundamental units of information, functioning as the quantum mechanical equivalent of bits in classical computing.
Where, for example, laser pulses in a glass fiber transport information from A to B in classical digital communication, quantum mechanics uses individual photons. In principle, this makes it impossible to intercept the transmitted data. Qubits that are optically addressable (can be controlled or read out with light) are suitable for storing the photons’ information and processing it in quantum computers. The qubits can store and process quantum states, and absorb and emit them in the form of photons.

marking a critical milestone in ULA’s path toward certifying the Vulcan Centaur for national security missions with the U.S. Space Force.
The Vulcan VC2S rocket is set to launch the Cert-2 mission from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, during a launch window on Friday, October 4, 2024, between 6:00 and 9:00 a.m. EDT.
This mission includes an inert payload and key technology demonstrations for the Centaur V upper stage.
Deep-learning models are being used in many fields, from health care diagnostics to financial forecasting. However, these models are so computationally intensive that they require the use of powerful cloud-based servers.
In this episode of The Cognitive Revolution, Nathan interviews Samo Burja, founder of Bismarck Analysis, on the strategic dynamics of artificial intelligence through a geopolitical lens. They discuss AI’s trajectory, the chip supply chain, US-China relations, and the challenges of AI safety and militarization. Samo brings both geopolitical expertise and technological sophistication to these critical topics, offering insights on balancing innovation, security, and international cooperation.

“To be able to manage important aspects of my environment and control access to entertainment gives me back the independence that I’m losing,” Mark said.
The chip sits on a blood vessel and senses his brain activity, which is then translated into specific commands and sent to his digital devices for recognition. In a video shared by Synchron, Mark is seen mentally tapping on icons on his devices, ordering Alexa to turn the lights on and off, and checking his security camera to see who is outside — all without using his hands or voice.
“Synchron’s BCI is bridging the gap between neurotechnology and consumer tech, making it possible for people with paralysis to regain control of their environment,” Thomas Oxley, the company’s chief executive, said. “While many smart home systems rely on voice or touch, we are sending control signals directly from the brain, bypassing the need for these inputs. We’re thrilled … to address a critical unmet need for millions of people with mobility and voice impairment.”
