  • Funding for the National Science Foundation, which finances research at US bases on the icy continent, has already been reduced, and the agency faces steeper cuts soon.

The article from Nature discusses the significant advancements in quantum computing, highlighting a breakthrough by Google's quantum team in achieving a quantum supremacy milestone. The team demonstrated that their 53-qubit quantum computer, named Sycamore, performed a specific task in 200 seconds that would take the world's fastest supercomputer, Summit, approximately 10,000 years to complete. This achievement marks a pivotal moment in quantum computing, showcasing its potential to solve complex problems beyond the reach of classical computers. The article also touches on the ongoing debate about the practical applications of quantum supremacy and the challenges that remain in scaling up quantum systems and reducing errors. Additionally, it mentions the responses from other tech giants like IBM, which argue that classical computers could potentially solve the same problem faster with optimized algorithms.
