Artificial intelligence (AI) keeps getting more sophisticated, with the recent popularity of large language models (LLMs) signalling a paradigm shift in its development.
虽然量子物理学概念可以追溯到几十年前，但量子计算研究在20世纪80年代和90年代还主要停留于理论层面。然而，时至21世纪，这项技术不仅已走出研究实验室，而且还能与经典方法（classical approach）等其他更为传统的计算方式形成互补。大大小小的多家公司以及学术界都在推动前沿研究，这使得量子比特（量子信息的基本单位）更加稳定，量子技术的应用规模也得到扩大。
Aunque la física cuántica se remonta a décadas atrás, la computación cuántica en sí era en gran medida teórica en las décadas de 1980 y 1990. En el siglo XXI, esta tecnología no sólo ha s...
While quantum physics goes back decades, quantum computing itself was largely theoretical in the 1980s and 1990s. Fast-forward to the 21st century though, and not only is this technology ...
Cuando se trata de cifrar datos sensibles, los términos "post-cuántico" y "criptografía cuántica" se han convertido en palabras de moda. Sobre todo después de que el Instituto Nacional de...
When it comes to encrypting sensitive data, the terms “post-quantum” and “quantum-safe” have become buzzwords. Particularly after the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)...
Cyberattacks are on the rise, with cybercriminals getting ever smarter. But so are security researchers, always striving to be a step ahead of the most sophisticated hacker – to keep you,...
世界が新型コロナウイルスのパンデミック（世界的大流行）から立ち直りつつある今、新たなグローバル課題が影を落としています。それは、抗生物質耐性による危機です。世界各地で人々がマスクを外し、日常に「ソーシャル・ミキシング」が戻りつつある中、風邪の症状でパニックになる人もいるかもしれませんが、やみくもに抗生物質を飲むことは解決策にはなりません。抗生物質を飲めば飲むほど、細菌は抗...
As the world continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of another, ongoing, global challenge – the antibiotic resistance crisis – become ever more prominent. With masks...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a US government lab that publishes standards for government agencies to safely use cryptography, has just announced the winners ...
The 13-year-old daughter of a friend visiting my workplace — the IBM Research lab in Zurich — seemed puzzled. She knew I worked in a research lab and I that work with computers, but the c...
Science knows no borders. It may sound obvious, perhaps even clichéd, but this mantra is something that must be remembered in ongoing political negotiations over Horizon Europe, which cou...
