A cryostat from a quantum computer stands during a press tour of the Leibniz Computing Center in 2022. Qubit is a key term in one of the most buzzy areas of technology: quantum computing. Qubits are ...
The visible cosmos may contain roughly 6 x 10^80 — or 600 million trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion — bits of information, according to a new estimate. The findings could have ...
A popular cosmological theory holds that the cosmos runs on quantum codes. So how hard could it be to tweak the supreme algorithm? By Dennis Overbye If you could change the laws of nature, what would ...
Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been pushing for the development of post-quantum cryptographic ...
Hi everyone! Have you heard of the brand new 8-bit computer built from (mostly) off-the-shelf parts called Commander X16 made by a team of people under The 8-Bit Guy (David Murray)? If so what are ...
Imagine the ultimate homage to 1980s 8-bit home computers. It might look like [David Murray] aka The 8-Bit Guy’s Commander X16. As a core group of geeks, hackers, and developers age, we yearn for the ...
Radiation from space that led to more than 6,000 Airbus aircraft needing emergency computer updates could become a growing problem as ever more microchips run our lives. "We need medical equipment," ...
Building a computer is one thing. Designing a computer from scratch is another. Doing both of those things in the confines of Microsoft's smash-hit sandbox game Minecraft is, I want to say, absurd?
