Microsoft recently announced a significant technological breakthrough, claiming that its newly developed chip could enable the construction of quantum computers within years instead of decades. The highlight of this chip lies in its use of the world's first topological conductor, a material that creates a new state of matter that is neither solid, liquid, nor gas. This innovation makes it possible to design quantum systems that can fit on a single chip, and the chip itself is smaller than a palm. Microsoft's research has been published in the Nature Journal, and numerous experts have expressed their...

In this era of rapid advancement in artificial intelligence, how machines understand and "see" the world has remained a hot topic of research among scientists. Recently, a study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence has unveiled a novel approach—utilizing visual predictive coding to autonomously construct cognitive maps. This breakthrough is not only significant in the field of AI but also deepens our understanding of how machines simulate human visual perception. Within the brai
