- 1IBM quantum computer completes task in 19 seconds▼IBM's Quantum Computer Completes in 19 Seconds What Could Take a Supercomputer a Century
IBM says one of its quantum computers finished a calculation in 19 seconds that it estimates would take a conventional supercomputer around a century to complete. The claim, reported by ScienceAlert, is being circulated as a striking illustration of quantum advantage, though independent verification of the benchmark and how it was measured has not yet been established.
- 2Report: Alberta failed Cargill workers during COVID-19 outbreak●Alberta ‘failed’ Cargill workers amid COVID-19 outbreak with inaction, overconfidence: report
A new report concludes the Alberta government failed workers at the Cargill meat-processing plant, saying inaction and overconfidence worsened the COVID-19 outbreak there. The plant became one of North America's largest workplace coronavirus clusters, with hundreds of employees infected. The findings renew criticism of provincial oversight of workplace safety during the pandemic and calls for accountability.

Police in Grovetown, Georgia say they have arrested several suspected child predators following an undercover internet operation. Officers posed online to identify adults allegedly seeking to exploit children, leading to multiple arrests. Details on the number taken into custody and the charges they face have not yet been released.
- 4Superconductor shows different behaviour when time is reversed▼This superconductor behaves differently when time is reversed
Researchers report a superconductor that behaves differently when time is reversed, a signature of broken time-reversal symmetry. The finding, highlighted by science outlets, could point to unusual electronic states and exotic physics in superconducting materials, drawing interest from physicists studying chiral or topological superconductivity and their potential uses in quantum technologies.
