One of quantum computing’s central problems is that errors happen and you often don’t know it until you measure — by which point the quantum state is gone. A new method published this week can detect quantum information loss more than 100 times faster than previous approaches, tracking changes in near real time.

That’s not a fix for decoherence. But it’s a significantly better diagnostic tool, which matters for the engineering cycle. You can’t fix what you can’t see.

Not “every weekend.” Once a month. If you drink heavily once a month and otherwise moderately, you may be tripling your risk of liver fibrosis.

Everyone who “doesn’t have a drinking problem” just got some uncomfortable reading material.
