Some techies today fear hell—not from a god, but from a computer. Human beings have a habit of wrapping up big unknowns in familiar stories. Even in our high-tech, secular age, the quest to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) often comes with a kind of religious or end-of-the-world fervor. Some communities of self-described rationalists speak […]

What if I told you that the future of computing is being held back by something as tiny as a single electron’s wobbly spin? Quantum computers promise to solve problems that would take today’s supercomputers millions of years. But there’s a big catch: Quantum information is ridiculously fragile. Like an ice cube on a hot […]
