But one key challenge stands in the way: speed.
To be reliable, quantum computers must perform calculations and error corrections before their fragile quantum bits, or qubits, lose coherence.
Now, MIT researchers have built a new superconducting circuit that could dramatically speed up this process.
Scientists are working to send quantum information through existing fiber networks. This shift could save billions in infrastructure costs and speed up the arrival of quantum-powered technologies.
Unlike regular data, quantum communication sends information through single photons. These photons hold fragile quantum states that are easy to disturb. That makes sharing fiber lines with classical Internet traffic a serious technical challenge.
Classical signals, especially those powered by lasers, flood the fiber with light. This generates a kind of noise called inelastic scattering. One type, known as spontaneous Raman scattering, floods the line with stray photons that can drown out the quantum signals.
It inspired further work — mathematicians like Sophie Germain had previously contributed techniques (notably the “Sophie Germain trick” for special primes), and Dirichlet’s work continued the trend of applying novel number-theoretic tools.
(/ ˌ d ɪər ɪ ˈ k l eɪ / ; [ 1 ] German: [ləˈʒœn diʁiˈkleː] ; [ 2 ] 13 February 1805 – 5 May 1859) was a German mathematician. In number theory, he proved special cases of Fermat’s last theorem and created analytic number theory. In analysis, he advanced the theory of Fourier series and was one of the first to give the modern formal definition of a function. In mathematical physics, he studied potential theory, boundary-value problems, and heat diffusion, and hydrodynamics.
Although his surname is Lejeune Dirichlet, he is commonly referred to by his mononym Dirichlet, in particular for results named after him.

A different kind of human cell division could improve our understanding of cancer and help us grow specific tissues
New research from the University of Bristol has uncovered striking links between immune system proteins and neuropsychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia, depression, and Alzheimer’s disease. By analyzing large genetic datasets using Mendelian randomisation, scientists identified 29 immune-related proteins potentially playing a causal role in these disorders.
The findings suggest that mental health conditions may not be isolated to the brain but involve the entire body, potentially reshaping future treatment strategies. This video explores how inflammation and immune pathways could be the next frontier in neuropsychiatric care.

Hyundai Motor Group is taking a bold step into the future of factory automation with plans to deploy Atlas humanoid robots at its Metaplant America facility in Georgia.
These advanced bipedal robots, developed by Boston Dynamics are designed to perform tasks traditionally carried out by humans.
As per a report on Nikkei Asia, Atlas will automate up to 40 percent of vehicle assembly work at the facility by the end of this year.
University of Missouri researchers developed the tiny clay-based materials that can be customized for a range of analytical, commercial and medical applications.
Imagine tiny LEGO pieces that automatically snap together to form a strong, flat sheet. Then, scientists add special chemical “hooks” to these sheets to attach glowing molecules called fluorophores.
Associate Professor Gary Baker, Piyuni Ishtaweera, Ph.D., and their team have created these tiny, clay-based materials—called fluorescent polyionic nanoclays. They can be customized for many uses, including advancing energy and sensor technology, improving medical treatments and protecting the environment.
In patients with T2D who had been hospitalized for poorly controlled blood glucose, SGLT2 inhibitors nearly doubled the risk for falls, and combined use with GLP-1 RAs nearly tripled the risk.
