Quantum Matters: AI and Quantum Converge as Risks, Regulation and Energy Constraints Mount
Guest Post by Karina Robinson What does a lawyer in 1980s Italy have in common with uber-scientist John von Neumann? With the Red Brigades killing politicians and judges with impunity in 1980s Italy, a prosecuting magistrate’s decision to persevere in a terrorist investigation amounts to a death wish. Giacomo Colnaghi is, fatefully, murdered by a […]
