PsiQuantum presses ahead with photon-based large-scale quantum computer
Quantum computing company PsiQuantum is accelerating efforts to build a large-scale quantum computer using photons. It is pursuing an approach that makes chips in existing semiconductor production facilities and connects about 100 cooling cabinets to implement a practical-scale system. Founded in 2016 by four physicists from British universities, the company has raised $1 billion and begun work on a Chicago hub, while preparing a second hub in Australia.

Free PC monitoring app used in NASA radiation tests: HWiNFO
PC hardware monitoring program HWiNFO was used in a U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration semiconductor radiation experiment, according to its website and NASA documents. The tool tracked CPU and GPU status during tests of an AMD A4-3300 processor made at GlobalFoundries in Germany. NASA data showed differing temperature readings between an infrared camera and internal sensors recorded by HWiNFO, raising the possibility of sensor distortion under radiation.
