💡 Quantum-Inspired Computing at Room Temperature For decades, researchers have been chasing the promise of quantum computing but the need for extreme cooling has kept it out of everyday reach. Now, UCLA engineers have taken a different path. They built a physics-inspired system that runs at room temperature, using oscillators instead of digital processors to solve hard optimization problems like scheduling, routing, and network planning. This approach, called an Ising machine, mimics how physical systems naturally settle into balance. The team used a quantum material (tantalum sulfide) that bridges quantum mechanics and classical physics, showing it can be done with far less power and with the potential to integrate into existing silicon technology. It is a reminder that progress often comes not just from chasing the ideal, but from rethinking the path. 👉 What do you think? Will physics-inspired computing be the bridge between today’s chips and tomorrow’s quantum machines? #QuantumComputing #Innovation #Technology #Future #Leadership https://lnkd.in/gX788Urg

We were honored to have our video selected as the winner at this year’s Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Symposium, hosted by the California Energy Commission. The event brought together clean energy leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss how technology, equity, and affordability will shape California’s decarbonized future. GoPowerEV's work was featured as part of the state’s leading public-interest innovations, accelerating our transition to a smarter, more resilient grid. Especially in multifamily housing, where the next wave of EV adoption will happen. Watch the video below to see how we’re making equitable electrification real. #EPICSymposium

Humans haven't been able to distinguish Mozart from machine since the 1980s... why is it that we're only now freaking out about A.I. creativity? Prof. Maya Ackerman explains in today's episode! More on Maya: • Associate professor of computer science and engineering at Santa Clara University, where she specializes in generative A.I. research, a field she’s been immersed in for decades. • Author of the brand-new book "Creative Machines: A.I., Art & Us". • Co-founder and CEO of lyric- and music-generation startup WaveAI. • Holds a PhD in computer science from the University of Waterloo. Today's episode should be accessible — and fascinating! — to any interested listener. Thanks to Anthropic, Dell Technologies, Intel Corporation, Gurobi Optimization and Airia for supporting today's episode of the "Super Data Science Podcast with Jon Krohn", enabling the show to be freely available on all major podcasting platforms as well as YouTube. This is Episode #943! See below for quick access ⬇️ #superdatascience #machinelearning #creativity #ai #generativeAI #AIcreativity #art #music #AImusic
