Newswise — In the future, quantum computers may be able to solve problems that are far too complex for today's most powerful supercomputers. To realize this promise, quantum versions of error correction codes must be able to account for computational errors faster than they occur. . However, today's quantum computers are not yet robust enough to realize such error correction at commercially relevant scales.

The voluntary carbon offset market will reach $250 billion by 2050 from $2 billion in 2020, according to estimates made by Morgan Stanley. However, awareness of the monetary and environmental benefits associated with carbon credits is low. Generally speaking, carbon offsets are granted when an organization or company engages in a practice that reduces CO2 emissions, such as replacing fossil-fuel-based energy sources with renewable energy sources, or (rarely) removes CO2 from the atmosphere through technology like carbon capture.

Up until September of last year, Google Translate used phrase-based translation. That has no capacity to make educated guesses at words it doesn’t recognize, and can’t learn from new input. But then Google Translate got smart. It developed the ability to learn from the people who used it. And then it invented its own language to help it translate more effectively.
