For a neural network, a grayscale image on a 50-by-50 grid of pixels is akin to a single point in 2,500-dimensional space. Given enough data points, the neural network may be trained to identify a specific type of image. www.quantamagazine.org/how-can-ai-i...

Quantum chromodynamics predicts that the proton is, at high resolution, a dandelion-like cloud made up almost entirely of force-carrying particles called gluons.

The state of this reentry and descent of the Long March 12A is something to behold. But despite this failed attempt, the key point is that Chinese reusable launchers are coming.

“The Penrose tiling somehow knew about quantum error correction before the invention of the quantum computer.” —Latham Boyle
Never-Repeating Tiles Can Safeguard Quantum Information | Quanta Magazine
Two researchers have proved that Penrose tilings, famous patterns that never repeat, are mathematically equivalent to a kind of quantum error correction.
