Introducing Xstrings: MIT’s New Bionics 3D Printing Method

by

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), Zhejiang University, and Tsinghua University have developed a new approach for 3D printing objects capable of humanlike movement. Called “Xstrings,” the method automates the fabrication of cable-driven assemblies that can bend, coil, screw, and compress.  Such devices are traditionally difficult to produce because the cable … Read more

Scientists Investigate Error Mitigation For Logical Qubits as a Path Toward Reliable Quantum Computing

by

Insider Brief A Zhejiang University-led team reports integrating an error mitigation technique called zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE) with error correction circuits for logical qubits, reducing residual errors and advancing early fault-tolerant quantum computing. The researchers applied ZNE to repetition and surface code circuits on superconducting processors, demonstrating its ability to suppress logical errors and remain effective … Read more
