Study Shows Quantum Computers Can Compare Meaning in Language Models
Insider Brief A new study shows that quantum computers can be used to compare meaning in language models by estimating semantic similarity on real quantum hardware, demonstrating technical feasibility rather than performance gains. The research maps language representations onto quantum states and uses quantum interference effects to approximate similarity, validating the approach through experiments run […]
Is Quantum Moving Faster Than Markets Expected? Bitcoin Rebalance Suggests Changed in Quantum Computing Risk Perception
Insider Brief Jefferies removed Bitcoin from a key Asia-focused portfolio, citing the long-term risk that advances in quantum computing could eventually undermine the cryptography securing the network. The decision reflects a broader institutional shift toward evaluating digital assets based on long-horizon technological resilience rather than near-term price or regulatory factors. While experts disagree on the […]
