Happy Friday!
Here’s a sneak peek into our line-up for our Future of Computing Conference – great to have Ubitium, SpiNNcloud Systems GmbH, anabrid GmbH, Synthara AG, and many more pitching 👇
Future of Computing News
Here’s the paper: Learning high-accuracy error decoding for quantum processors (Nature)
Funding News

“National and regional compute ecosystems are evolving daily. Newly launched Danish supercomputer Gefion, for example, aims to be a never-seen-before “factory of intelligence” that will reshape Denmark’s sovereign research capacity and role within Europe.”
“In this report, we argue that there is a realistic possibility that some AI systems will be conscious and/or robustly agentic in the near future. That means that the prospect of AI welfare and moral patienthood, i.e. of AI systems with their own interests and moral significance, is no longer an issue only for sci-fi or the distant future.”
“Using a neutral atom quantum processor with 256 qubits, each an individual Ytterbium atom, we demonstrate the entanglement of 24 logical qubits using the distance-two code, simultaneously detecting errors and correcting for lost qubits.”
“Three threads, three data sets, and two contradicting narratives. I’m about to walk you through quantum tech’s funding story that can be read as both a bull and bear market case—depending on where you stand and how you connect the dots.”
Anastasi in Tech: “In this video I discuss probabilistic computing that reportedly allows for 100 million times better energy efficiency compared to the best NVIDIA GPUs.”
“As an Amazonian, regardless of role or seniority, there is an expectation that when you have a good idea, you’ll put pen to paper and craft a compelling narrative. These docs take many forms: one-pagers, two-pagers, the infamous six-pager, and of course PR/FAQs”
