Minimalistický kvantový počítač simuluje pohyby molekul

V molekulách se děje spousta zajímavých věcí, které je obtížné sledovat nebo dokonce simulovat. Čím komplikovanější je molekula, tím je méně přístupná zkoumání. Nový minimalistický kvantový simulátor využívá jediný atom ytterbia polapený ve vakuu pulzujícími elektrickými poli a simuluje velmi slušně. Kvantové simulátory prozatím patří k nejslibnějším aplikacím kvantových počítačů. http://www.osel.cz/14077-minimalisticky-kvantovy-pocitac-simuluje-pohyby-molekul.html

This timeless insight from renowned 20th-century Austrian-America management consultant Peter Drucker is especially relevant for startup leaders who aim to build something that stands the test of time.

We’re in a golden age for movie trailers—and it’s messing with our heads

Deciding which movies warrant a trip to the theater isn’t always easy. Lately, though, trailers seem to be making the choice even harder, and not for the reasons one might think.

The problem—if you could call it one—is an abundance of marketing riches across the entire cinematic spectrum. The trailer for A24’s new necromancy horror ">Bring Her Back is as dynamic as the one for Marvel’s retro romp,

Lehká plastová zrcadla mohou podstatně zlevnit solární termální energii

Solární termální energetika je jako na koni. Globální oteplování jí hraje do karet. Teď jde o to, aby byla co nejlevnější.

AlphaEvolve pod lupou: Jak si Google vylepšuje vlastní nástroje a co na to konkurence?

Google DeepMind opět posouvá hranice umělé inteligence. Jeho nový systém AlphaEvolve nejenže optimalizuje vlastní infrastrukturu Googlu a šetří nemalé prostředky, ale také přepisuje desítky let staré matematické poučky a objevuje nové algoritmy. Zatímco AlphaEvolve demonstruje sílu evolučního přístupu v kombinaci s velkými jazykovými modely, konkurence v podobě OpenAI, Applu či čínských firem nespí a AI závod nabírá na obrátkách.

Nové pohledy na gravitaci a časoprostor: Je všechno jinak?

Einsteinova teorie relativity otřásla naším chápáním vesmíru, ale i po sto letech se vynořují nové otázky. Je časoprostor skutečně zakřivený, nebo existují alternativy? Proč vlastně fyzikové tak usilovně pátrají po teorii kvantové gravitace? Nedávné studie naznačují, že příběh gravitace a struktury reality je možná mnohem komplikovanější a zajímavější, než si myslíme. http://www.osel.cz/14074-nove-pohledy-na-gravitaci-a-casoprostor-je-vsechno-jinak.html

If you’re a professional in a field like journalism, you’ll generally be able to tell when it’s speeding up drudgery and when your judgment and expertise are m
