Physicists Solve a “Quantum-Only” Problem Using an Ordinary Laptop
A problem once touted as requiring a quantum computer has now been solved on a laptop.
Using advanced mathematical techniques and sophisticated software, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute and collaborators at Boston University showed that a conventional computer can successfully simulate a notoriously difficult quantum system previously claimed to be beyond the reach of classical computing.
Apple Patches 30+ iOS, macOS, Safari Flaws, Including AI-Discovered WebKit Bugs
The four vulnerabilities are part of nearly 30 vulnerabilities that have been patched in WebKit, an open-source web browser engine developed by Apple. Others include a use-after-free issue in WebKit Canvas (CVE-2026–43720) and a vulnerability that could be exploited by a malicious website to process restricted web content outside the sandbox (CVE-2026–43725).
Apple has also remediated three bugs that could be exploited by a malicious app to leak sensitive kernel state (CVE-2026–43722), cause unexpected system termination or write kernel memory (CVE-2026–43724), or corrupt kernel memory (CVE-2026–39868). Security researcher Hyunwoo Kim, who discovered Dirty Frag, has been credited with discovering and reporting CVE-2026–43724 and CVE-2026–43722.
The updates are available for iOS 26.5.2, iPadOS 26.5.2, macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, and Safari 26.5.2. None of the patched vulnerabilities has been disclosed as actively exploited in the wild.
