Fingernail-sized quantum chip stores data with vibrations and works like a guitar

A new design for a fingernail-sized quantum chip stores information using tiny mechanical vibrations, researchers said. Applying the principle of vibrating guitar strings, the structure could increase a quantum computer\'s working memory and points to a path toward next-generation quantum memory. Researchers at ETH Zurich developed a chip architecture that separates quantum computation from information storage. They validated basic performance by running quantum Fourier transform and a period-finding algorithm.

South Korea steps up push for one AI agent per person, to launch \'AI for Everyone\' service this year

South Korea plans to launch a free, general-purpose AI chatbot service called \'AI for Everyone\' in December using domestic AI models. The government aims to upgrade it into AI agents next year, targeting a \"one AI agent per person\" era. It will support construction of gigawatt-class AI data centres backed by 550 trillion won in private investment and pursue projects in physical AI, AI semiconductors, security and regional AI transformation hubs, and space and quantum programmes.

Quantum computer investment race heats up, but experts say there is still no use for it

Competition to invest in quantum computers is intensifying as the U.S. government and major big tech companies point to 2028-2030 as a turning point for practical use. Researchers say current systems are too small and too error-prone, with no confirmed case of solving problems useful for industry. Companies and governments are setting roadmaps, while academics debate gaps between claims and technology, and highlight error correction as a key hurdle.
