Quantum memory lets a quantum computer perform a task not necessarily with fewer steps, but with less data. Could this in itself be a way to prove quantum advantage?

The new papers show that quantum memory lets a quantum computer perform a task not necessarily with fewer steps, but with less data. As a result, researchers believe this in itself could be a way to prove quantum advantage. “It allows us to, in the more near term, already achieve that kind of quantum advantage,” said Hsin-Yuan Huang, a physicist at Google Quantum AI.

But researchers are excited about the practical benefits too, as the new results make it easier for researchers to understand complex quantum systems.

Predibase announces the Predibase Inference Engine, their new infrastructure offering designed to be the best platform for serving fine-tuned small language models (SLMs). The Predibase Inference Engine dramatically improves SLM deployments by making them faster, easily scalable, and more cost-effective for enterprises grappling with the complexities of productionizing AI. Built on Predibase’s innovations–Turbo LoRA and LoRA eXchange (LoRAX)–the Predibase Inference Engine is designed from the ground up to offer a best-in-class experience for serving fine-tuned SLMs.

The need for such an innovation is clear. As AI becomes more entrenched in the fabric of enterprise operations, the challenges associated with deploying and scaling SLMs have grown increasingly daunting. Homegrown infrastructure is often ill-equipped to handle the dynamic demands of high-volume AI workloads, leading to inflated costs, diminished performance, and operational bottlenecks. The Predibase Inference Engine addresses these challenges head-on, offering a tailor-made solution for enterprise AI deployments.

A mathematical study finds that three definitions of what it means for entropy to increase, which have previously been considered equivalent, can produce different results in the quantum realm.

Seems interesting. But B.D. has fallen behind now, imo.

A new study has found that the gene therapy COG-201, delivered through a nasal spray, can improve memory and decrease anxiety in animal models, offering a new approach to treating neurological conditions.

Bell’s theorem, the well-known theoretical framework introduced by John Bell decades ago, delineates the limits of classical physical processes arising from relativistic causality principles. These are principles rooted in Einstein’s theory of relativity, which dictate how cause and effect operate in the universe.
