Running Quantum Software on Traditional Computers
Researchers have introduced an approach for simulating the quantum approximate optimization algorithm using a traditional computer. Instead of running the algorithm on advanced quantum processors, the new approach uses a classical machine-learning algorithm that closely mimics the behavior of near-term quantum computers.

AI Used To Unlock Secrets of Ancient Texts
To preserve historical accounts of humanity, texts have been kept safely stored away in libraries and monasteries all over the world. A large amount of this material has never been read. Now, researchers are developing an artificial neural network to read complex ancient handwriting based on human perception to improve capabilities of deep learning transcription.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Can Help Silicon Neurons Increase Efficiency
A tiny insect brain has less than a million neurons but is more energy-efficient than current AI systems. These brains serve as models for computing systems that are becoming more sophisticated as billions of silicon neurons can be implemented on hardware. Research has shown that the secret to achieving energy efficiency lies in the silicon neurons’ ability to learn to communicate and form networks.
