China’s first Autonomous Wind Park is already reality

by

What just a few years ago seemed science fiction is already reality: in China, robot dogs are not only exhibited in Technological Fairs o They serve as laboratory experiments, but patrol critical infrastructure. In full desert of Gobi and the Loess Plateau, metal quadrupeds monitor wind farms in areas where only humans arrived on foot, under sandstorms. A park without humans. It is about to meet a year since the third Wind Park Tongli, 70 MW, It works without the presence of a single human worker. Built by China Three Gorges and equipped with Goldwind GW150-3 MW turbines, it is the first completely autonomous wind park. According to Rechargethe system combines Robot X30 dogs from Deep Robotics, drones and more than 300 intelligent cameras and sensors that cover about 5,000 inspection tasks. Everything that previously required walking hours on gravel roads is now supervised at a distance, from the Litong Maintenance Center, 30 km from the installation. The change translates into more than 3,000 hours of inspection, a 27% increase in labor efficiency and the elimination of human risks in one of the toughest environments on the planet. Total automation. The wind farms of noxia are located in a difficult access region, with extreme temperatures and frequent sand storms. Before, maintenance personnel had to walk more than 10 kilometers to perform weekly inspections, even in adverse weather conditions, According to a Deep Robotics statement. The deployment of roboperros and drones now allows two daily inspection rounds of about 80 minutes each, with reports transmitted in real time. Thus, plants become authentic “dark factories”, a concept taken from industrial automation that points to facilities that work without the need for human presence. The great protagonists. The X30 of Deep Robotics, According to company specificationsit is a quadruped of 56 kg can operate between -20 ° C and 55 ° C, climb stairs and move in total darkness, walk on gravel and sand without losing stability, recognize with analog and digital meters, ignition indicators, infrared temperature readings, and emit instantaneous alarms when it detects anomalies. According to Deep Robotics datathe precision of recognition reaches 96.5%, which makes these robots reliable tools for industrial control. In addition, they work even if communication with the operations center is interrupted: their integrated algorithms allow them to manage inspections and data analysis autonomously. Beyond the wind. The use of these quadrupeds is not limited to wind energy. According to RechargeDeep Robotics has already deployed its models in steel factories, converting stations and solar parks. It also presented in 2025 a hybrid prototype called Lynx, which combines legs and wheels to move in snow and ice. The bet also extends to new plants: Goldwind has already developed other “unmanned” plants for Powerchina, and China Three Gorges plans to replicate the experience in solar projects. A new energy era. With the launch of Ningxia Tongli, China shows how incarnate artificial intelligence can transform the energy industry. Robot dogs, drones and sensors form a 24/7 surveillance ecosystem without human intervention that promises to reduce costs, improve safety and guarantee operational continuity in extreme environments. What seemed like a science fiction scene – a robot dog patrolling between turbines in the desert – is already a daily routine in northern China. The question is inevitable: If today they monitor wind farms, tomorrow where will we see these new metallic guardians?

that students use it to avoid being caught and teachers to catch

by

Grammarly is a program and browser extension which has been helping us correctly since 2009: ten years before Google Integrate Writing suggestions in Gmail or that generative artificial intelligence will change everything in natural language with chatgpt. And what if it changed, so much that Grammarly has launched An application to improve texts that integrates nine agents. Back to the origins. Grammarly’s new tools are focused on using artificial intelligence for students and teachers to improve in their work: some can write better texts and others can detect plagiarism scanning “databases, academic articles, websites and published works.” In that sense, there is an agent that gives a numerical score that reflects the probability that the text is generated by AI or written by a human. Something striking of the announcement is that the founders of the company, before launching Grammarly, They undertook creating My Dropbox In 2002 (not confusing with Dropbox) with a nature that now recovers: as a plagiarism detector. Why it is important. Grammarly’s movement is relevant because it shows the recent impact of artificial intelligence even in companies that already had a lot of agricultural help component. Now they have to adapt because any great language model can bury them, such as It also happens with Duolingo. But, above all, it is interesting by how it exemplifies the moment that education lives with the boom of chatgpt: in conflict between students that They use artificial intelligence to do essays and other jobs looking not to be detected … And teachers looking for all means that do not “sneak” plagiarized and elaborated with AI, for which they will use an artificial intelligence agent that will also help them correct jobs. Luckily, there are universities that already They are implementing it in class. An agent who makes Stalking To teachers. The thing does not end there: the agent who helps to rewrite texts too Improve the process with the bibliography And deepen something that obsesses students: predict the note. The most impressive thing about Grammarly’s promise is how they claim that he does it: investigate on the Internet about which teacher the subject teaches to try to know his tastes and evaluation priorities, and help the result to approach as much as possible to what he will please. With giving him the name of the professor, subject and the university, the Grammarly agent promises to predict what note we will take out. The great challenge. As a way to differentiate, Grammarly’s proposal is ambitious, because until now there is no detector for the use of artificial intelligence that has been widely accepted as effective. According to A studydetectors we have detected less than 40% of the content generated by modified artificial intelligence to avoid being detected, and are even more imprecise (17.4%) when they have to analyze manipulated content. Some great American universities They do not support the use of detectorsbecause They do not work. For its part, OpenAi launched A tool to detect plagiarismand then He withdrew it silently. Although according to leaks now they have a tool that works, They do not throw it. If Grammarly manages to become the era of artificial intelligence in what Turnitin It has been in traditional plagiarism, it can become an actor who plays a great role in the market. Tensions. That detectors do not work is generating problems, and not only teachers, because work generated by artificial intelligence is sorry as if they were more handmade. Students are suffering from be falsely accused of lyingwith fatal consequences as suspensions in subjects. But in the background there is a reality: students cheating artificial intelligence for artificial intelligence detectors. To a future generated, summarized and read by the. Two years ago, with the launch of GPT-4 still fresh, Javier Lacort, Xataka editor, He drew a future that today sounds even in present: a reality full of emails written by artificial intelligence, in which we summarize those same emails with artificial intelligence, and in which we respond with the same tools. The most comic scenario: that “we turn to AI by postureo, to artificially lengthened emails that the receiver will not read, because that same will be in charge of summarizing it.” Today, integration into Gmail, WhatsApp, social networks and other day -to -day places already makes that future very present.

Intel is closer than ever to be chopped. A giant is interested in buying its chips factories

by

The possibility of intelid for a long time. Two years before get out of this companyPat Gelsinger, the former Director General of Intel, He acknowledged that he saw with good eyes The possibility that the network of integrated circuit factories is somewhat broken down from the company’s matrix. At that time, More than three years agothis was already an interesting option to increase the competitiveness of its chips production plants, and in current circumstances it seems even more advantageous. At the beginning of last April Reuters and The Information assured that the Board of Directors of Intel and TSMC had reached a principle of agreement that was pursuing to constitute a joint company that would be responsible for the management of Intel semiconductor factories. Its plan was that TSMC would have a 20% participation in the new company, so presumably Intel would maintain a majority participation. Finally, this initiative did not come to fruition, but the possibility of splitting the Intel chips factories of the company’s matrix is still on the table. And now it is the Japanese investment group SoftBank who, According to Financial Timesis interested in controlling the Intel Integrated Circuit Production Infrastructure. SoftBank has something very important: the support of the US government As we explain yesterday, SoftBank has injected into Intel 2,000 million dollars, which has consolidated it as the sixth main shareholder of this company. According to Reutersthis Japanese company has promised not to participate in the Board of Directors, and it will not buy integrated circuits produced by this American chip manufacturer. However, SoftBank’s plan does not end here. And is that, According to Financial TimesMasayoshi Son, the general director of this investment group, is interested in Intel chips factories. SoftBank has promised not to participate in the Board of Directors of Intel In fact, again according to this means of communication of British origin but currently in the hands of the Japanese company Nikkei Inc., before formalizing the injection of 2,000 million dollars in Intel, SoftBank communicated to the board of directors of this company its interest in its interest in Buy the full semiconductor production subsidiary. A priori it is reasonable to anticipate that the US government would not see with good eyes that a foreign company is done with the total control of Intel chips factories, but SoftBank is not any company. The most important initiative of how many has launched the Trump administration to protect US leadership in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) is The Stargate project. And this plan is led by an American company, Openai, and another Japanese: SoftBank. The company directed by Sam Altman is responsible, in broad strokes, for the development of technology and infrastructure management. And Masayoshi’s company are responsible for financial administration. Stargate will cost no less than 500,000 million dollarsand it is evident that the US government Trust SoftBank. During the next few weeks we will check if the purchase of Intel Prosper Chips factories, but all likelihood the administration will not be an obstacle.

It is not that Russia is lack of artillery, it is that from the space its armor park is being empty

by

Last July 28 is He published a study of the Institute of the School of Economy of kyiv where the situation of the vast Soviet arsenals that Russia had been using since the beginning of his invasion in Ukraine was analyzed. The analysis left no doubt: they were exhausting shipments from the main Russian military stores. Now, this study has added graphic evidence. The decline of reserves. Yes, in Another study recent intelligence of Ukraine, based on satellite images and published by the Jompy researcherit is confirmed that Russian tank reserves are entering a critical phase of exhaustion. The detailed monitoring of military deposits shows that the constant extraction From armored, together with the industrial disability to restore them to the necessary rhythm, it is racing in a accelerated way of Moscow to sustain the war in Ukraine with modern combat cars. Exhaustion and obsolete tanks. The nerve center of this deterioration, according to satellite imagesis the 1311 deposit, where they are withdrawing around 20 T-72b tanks a month. If that rhythm is maintained, the warehouse will be empty before the end of the year, an unexpected fact even for analysts who follow the evolution of Russian material. This emptying adds to the exhaustion of stocks close to the Uralvagonzavod plantmain tank factory in the country. Even more revealing is that 1311 no longer counts With T-80BVwhich suggests that Russia would have completely consumed that line of reserves. The presence of T-80ud In base 22 it does not alter the panorama, as these vehicles are not suitable for reconditioned. Given this shortage, they have begun to be extracted T-55 and T-62tanks of the fifties and sixties whose reappearance in Omsktransash indicates a forced setback towards obsolete models. The problems of the industry. The lack of recent updates in the images of Base 6018 points to the fact that Omsktransash, one of the pillars in armored repair, faces It would be difficulty to maintain an adequate restoration rhythm. The need to resort to infantry combat vehicles (BMP), which originally were not part of the lots stored in 1311, reflects the improvisation with which Russia is trying Cover empty in its mechanized arsenal. The general picture reveals an industrial pressure that fails to sustain the war demand, partly because vehicles extracted are in deplorable conditions after storage decades. A Russian T-80BV No strategic reservations. Once 1311 is emptied, Moscow will be forced to resort to Deposits 349 and 2544where the T-72awith 586 and 215 units respectively. However, most are in poor condition, which limits the real effectiveness of this resource. The projection is bleak: when these reserves are exhausted, Russia will depend almost exclusively on T-55 and T-62, which represent barely 16% of the inventory of armored prior to the invasion of Ukraine. Quality degradation is evident: of third generation models, relatively modern, to platforms that decades ago they are considered overcome in any scenario of contemporary war. And without artillery. It We count A few weeks ago. The decline is not limited to tanks. Previous reports had already indicated that Russia has consumed almost Half of your reservations of artillery towed in the Shchuchye deposit, which housed about 50% of all this material in the country. In addition, the pace of reactivation of pieces It has collapsedbeing currently more than four times lower than that registered in 2022, confirming the progressive inability to reconstitute the power of terrestrial fire. A step back. The news has a clear background: the wear war in Ukraine has led the Russian army to a point where its formations are experiencing a “DESMECCANIZATION”that is, a setback from the classic model of armored regiments to infantry -centered units that advance in motorcycles, light vehicles without protection or even on foot. This phenomenon does not imply that Russia is losing war, since its numerical superiority in personnel allows you It limits severely Moscow’s ability to transform those tactical advances into deep and strategic ruptures of the enemy front. Strategic implications. This panorama suggests that Russian war machinery faces a Structural limit difficult to overcome. The apparent initial abundance of Soviet reserves is being replaced for the urgency of resorting to material practically museum. Each T-62 or T-55 deployed on the front not only lacks the necessary benefits against drones, anti-tank missiles and guided artillery, but also exposes crews to crews A higher risk In modern fighting. The loss of contemporary armored armies will reduce the Russian offensive capacity, will make it slower and will force their controls to rethink mechanized assault strategies, which have already shown vulnerability in Ukraine.

The science behind one of the AI pillars has an origin as unexpected as unknown: pigeons pecking for food

by

Imagine a missile guided by a dove. It sounds absurd, but it happened in the middle of war: someone proposed to train them to Picute the target from a screen and thus redirect the projectile. The system was never usedbut left something more powerful than the anecdote: A way of learning based on proof, error and reward. The comparison helps to understand logic, but it is not literal: today there are no birds in algorithms; What is maintained is the idea of strengthening behaviors through signals. That logic, simple and direct, is the one that many artificial intelligence models follow. What was previously an answer conditioned by food, is now a score, a preference or human indication that the model learns to pursue. The test and reinforcement mechanism was not lost over time. In the 1940s and 1950s, the American psychologist Burrhus Frederic Skinner formalized that idea with his theory of “operant conditioning”: A behavior increases its probability of repeating itself if its consequences are positive. Although behaviorism was displaced by approaches focused on mental processes, its logic found a new field in computer science. Since the end of the seventies and, above all, in the eighties and ninety, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto applied it to the design of artificial agents capable of acting, receiving a signal and adjust ‘Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction’. As Mit Technology Review points outthe idea of molding behaviors without resorting to fixed rules became a useful tool to teach machines. From the 1980s, reinforcement learning began to be implemented in algorithms that explore simulated environments, fail, receive feedback and try again. They do not follow human instructions step by step: learn based on the result. This approach proved to be especially effective in tasks with clear objectives, such as games. And it was there that he gave one of his most visible jumps. Alphago’s story marked a before and after in artificial intelligence. In March 2016, he beat South Korean Lee Sedol 4-1 in a series of Go games. He succeeded by combining supervised learning of human games and reinforcement learning. A year later, Deepmind was one step further with Alphago Zero. Instead of training with human data, he started from scratch and learned playing against himself: each victory reinforced his strategy, each defeat the corregía. In 40 days he surpassed not only the human championbut also to all the previous versions of Alphago himself. Today, reinforcement learning is not only used in games; It is also used to refine the models behind services such as Chatgpt. The OpenAI system incorporates a technique known as Reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF): people compare model responses and those preferences become a signal that guides their evolution. According to Openai, this phase seeks to align the behavior of the model with the user’s intention. It does not learn explicit rules, but patterns that maximize the reward, that is, what receives better assessments. Reinforcement works, but it doesn’t work for everything. Its effectiveness depends on the signal being well defined and represents the objective well. If it is confused or poorly designed, andThe system can adopt ineffective or even problematic strategies. This has fed a scientific debate. Some biologists have indicated the paradox: Association learning is considered limited to animals, but is celebrated in AI when it produces advanced results. It is no accident that great technology have adopted this approach. More than 80 years after that experiment with pigeons, their pecks are still present in the technology we use every day.

China is living a fever for cherries and Spain wants to become its great garden. It will not be easy

by

He was waiting, but the Spanish cherry has just received news that had been waiting for a while: China has opened the doors of Its gigantic market. After years of negotiation between Beijing and Madrid, the Asian giant has given green light to the export of fruits cultivated in Spain, an agreement that had already been profiled In spring but that has not resolved its last fringes so far. Now there are two other goods expecting: The pistachio and the dry fig. What happened? That one of the main markets of the world, the Chinese, has just opened to the Spanish cherry. And that is an important news for several reasons. First because that vast market is made up of more than 1.4 billion of potential consumers. Second because the Asian giant seems especially interested In this fruit, valued both for its taste and its cultural impact (it is considered a symbol of fortune, especially during the New Year), a demand that has been benefited until now especially Chile. But what has changed? Basically, that the General Administration of Customs of China (AGA) has given its definitive approval to exports of Spanish cherry. The news has been advanced by the department led by Luis Planas in A statement confirming that the Asian Administration has already published the registration of authorized establishments for the sending of fruit. “It puts an end to a complex negotiation process of several years”, stands out. The sector Trust in which the new protocol “expedite” its ability to export. Is it a novelty? Yes. And no. Beijing has just opened its doors, but the news will catch few by surprise. It was expected Since AprilWhen Planas and Chinese Customs Minister Sun Meijun signed several protocols for the export of pigs and cherries, agreements that add to the dozen of pacts signed since 2018 on sanitary requirements oriented to food export. To move from political theory to commercial practice there were nevertheless several pending procedures. In June, AGA technicians conducted an audit of plots and stores related to the export of cherries to confirm that they fulfill the sanitary protocol. Before, in 2024, a delegation sent by Beijing had already been in charge of visiting some producing areas of the country. Are the details known? Yes. The Government He has revealed Some details of the agreement signed with China. The closed protocol with Beijing, for example, that the phases of processing, packaging, storage and transport of the fruit that is exported to China is carried out “under the supervision” of the ministry. “This will also be responsible for ensuring that only the cherries of the registered orchards can enter the clothing warehouse for their selection and processed.” The agreement will be valid for three years and adds to the bilateral export pacts between Spain and China of those who already enjoy other crops, such as citrus, peach, plum, table grape, chaqui or almond. Among other merchandise, Chinese authorities also allow the sale of fodder oatmeal, olive paste and dehydrate alfalfa destined for animal feed. Soon the list could be extended even more. The Planas department acknowledges that, after closing the agreement for cherries, the files of two other products with roots in Spain continue to negotiate: The pistachio and dry figs. Why is it important? For several reasons. The cherry cultivation is not equally extended throughout Spain, but there are provinces in which it is relevant, such as Cáceres or Zaragoza. According to The latest statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, in 2022 the production of cherry and icing of the country as a whole touched the 114,000 t, with a fundamental weight of Aragon (48,600) and Estremadura (40,000), followed quite distance in Catalonia (6,800), Andalusia (5,300) and Murcia (3,500). The sector expects the agreement with Beijing to expand its horizon. “It will open new possibilities for export to this fruit, whose culture has had an important development,” celebrated Already in April Pemex, the Federation of Producers of fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants. “The export of cherry from Spain in 2024 stood at 39,968 tons, the European Union being the first destination, with 33,440 T”. Among the extra -community markets stands out above all the United Kingdom, which received more than 5,700 tons, and South Africa and Hong Kong, with around one hundred tons each. Fruit shipments reached a value of 139 million euros. Will it have it easy? No. Although the agreement is good news for the Asian aspirations of the Spanish cherry, the truth is that it must compete in a complex market. According to the last forecasts collected by Produces reportit is expected that in the 2025/2026 season, which will last until March, the production of China cherries will grow 6% to 900,000 T, which demonstrates the bet within the country itself. One of the keys to that rebound is the increase in cultivated area, which during last season was around 199,000 ha. His high demand has led Beijing to use Chilean productionincreasingly focused on China. If in 2016 the South American country exported about 40,000 t of fruit to the Asian giant, in 2023 that figure had already fired until exceeding 370,000 t. At the beginning of the year the Xinhua agency He pointed out That during the last season Chile expert to the world more than 625,000 tons of fresh cherry, of which 568,000 left for China’s markets.

The depths of Antarctica had always been a mystery, so far: 3,000 “mega -structures”

by

An international team of scientists, with the researcher at the University of Barcelona David Amblàs at the head, He has revealed A much more complex and detailed map of the Antarctic Sea Fund. Using the most complete database to date, they have identified 3,291 individual cannons organized in 332 systems, some of which sink up to 4,000 meters deep and that act as supermarine superautistapistas that regulate the global climate, and at the same time, represent the Achilles heel of the gigantic glaciers of the icy continent. The map that has changed everything. Until now, our vision of the seabed surrounding Antarctica was blurred. The maps were based In low resolution data that barely suggested the largest structures. But everything has changed thanks to the new ‘International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean (IBCSO) V.2‘, a cartography that has combined thousands of ship polls with satellite data. Taking advantage of this “Google Maps” of the Antarctic Sea bed, scientists applied semi -automatic hydrological techniques, similar to those used to analyze river basins on the mainland. In this way, they managed to trace with amazing precision the entire network of “rivers” and “submarines” submarine that cross the continental margins of the continent. Two types of very different geographies. The finding with this system reveals two types of underwater geography. On the one hand, you have the ‘Eastern Antarctica‘Where very branched and -shaped cannon systems are found, which determines that its origin is very old. On the other hand, there is the ‘Western Antarctica‘Where shorter cannons predominate with abrupt slopes and V sections, which allows to see a more recent geological origin. For Amblàs, This difference so marked in geomorphology “It supports the hypothesis that the eastern ice layer is older and formed before the western one.” This is something that until now had only been able to intuit. Visual representation of the applied methodology for the extraction of the streams in the seabed. Water highways that decide our future. These cannons are not just a geographical accident. They are leading actors of climate change. On the one hand, they act as channels for the water of the continental platform, which when cooled and gain salinity, becomes very dense. . This water is precipitated by the cannons to the depths of the ocean, in a process that forms the Background Antarctic Water (AABW). This mass of cold and dense water is the engine of global oceanic circulation, a gigantic “conveyor belt” that distributes heat throughout the planet and kidnaps huge amounts of carbon dioxide in the deep ocean. The geometry of these cannons, therefore, is essential for climate regulation. The Achilles heel of the glaciers. On the other hand, these same cannons are an entrance door for the enemy. Allow him to Circumpolar deep water (CDW), a relatively warm mass of water (about 2 ° C above the freezing point) and saline, sneaks from the open ocean to the base of the ice platforms. This warm water flow is the main responsible for the basal melting of the glaciers, eroding them from below and accelerating their slide to the sea. The discovery of such a dense cannon network, especially in Eastern Antarctica (considered so far stable), suggests that The vulnerability of the continent The oceanic warming could be greater than what the models foresee. Regions such as the Amundsen Sea, home of the final judgment glacier, are full of these cannons that serve the warm water in tray. The great challenge: that our climatic models understand it. In addition, this discovery shows an important career: the climatic models that we currently use to project future scenarios are not able to simulate precisely. The topography is so rugged that the predictions on the dynamics of the oceans and the weather lose reliability, especially in areas as vulnerable as the Amundsen Sea. Therefore, the two authors of this study underline the urgency of continuing to invest in the high resolution mapping of these unexplored areas. The second researcher, Riccardo Arosio, concludes that “new cannons will surely be revealed” and each of them is essential to be able to make more precise climatic models that determine the future of the planet. Antarctica is a well of surprises. There are many investigations that focus on the planet’s location, and the conclusions are very interesting. We already know that in the past Where there is now ice was a real forestor that under its surface Something is sending a sign that science fails to clarify. And this has done that Tourism has arrived at this placesomething that is not sitting too well.

Quantum computers will change the world when they don’t make mistakes. This milestone is closer thanks to quantum gravity

Some experts believe that all the effort that is being carried out in the field of Quantum computing Not anywhere. One of the members of the scientific community more critical of quantum computers is the Israeli mathematician Gil KalaiProfessor at Yale University. According to this researcher, the increase in the number of states of quantum systems and their complexity will cause them to end up behaving like classical computers, so the superiority of the former will end up evaporating. However, the absence of unanimous support by the scientific community should not tarnish the notable effort and advances that many research groups are doing, some of them in Spanish institutions such as the CSIC and others integrated into the structure of companies that have very bulky resources, such as IBM, Google or Intel, among others. In fact, as expected, the latter defend that the long -awaited error correction will reach quantum computers and will allow them to face a much broader fan of problems than that of current prototypes. Terra Quantum bets on quantum severity to correct errors The main problem facing quantum computers in the field of error correction is noise, understood as the disturbances that can alter the internal state of the cubits and introduce calculation errors. The strategy for which many of the research groups that are involved in the development of quantum computers are opting for monitoring the operations carried out by the cubits to identify real -time errors and correct them. The problem is that from a practical point of view this strategy is very challenging. QMM technology reduces errors by up to 35% in current quantum processors Logical cubits represent a way to overcome the difficulty of the use of hardware or physical cubits, which are extremely noise sensitive, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Each logical cubit is constructed abstractly on several physical or hardware cubits, so that a single logical cubit encodes a single cubit of quantum information, but with redundancy. It is precisely this redundancy that allows to detect and correct the errors that are present in the physical cubits. The error correction strategy proposed by the researchers of the Swiss Terra Quantum company is not an alternative to the solutions in which we have just inquired; It is a complement. In fact, as explained in the article they have published in Advanced Quantum Technologiesits QMM technology (Quantum Memory Matrix) Reduce errors by up to 35% in current quantum processors. And, in addition, it reaches 94% fidelity using ten times less cubits than conventional methods. An important note: Terra Quantum’s scientific article has been reviewed by pairs. Terra Quantum has tested its QMM technology in IBM superconductor processors, and works. It only requires adding a quantum circuit that does not alter the architecture of the processor, although it is very ingenious. In fact, its operation is inspired by A principle of quantum gravity which maintains that the space-time continuum can be described as a network of me memory cells. It is a complicated idea, it is true, but the really important thing is that we know that this theoretical concept is the one that has inspired Terra Quantum scientists the design of their quantum circuit of errors suppression. Anyway, this innovation joins the effort that IBM, the MIT and other organizations are making to invite us to tie the future of quantum computers with a very reasonable optimism.
