Scientists at University College Cork (UCC) have made a breakthrough in quantum computing by discovering a spatially modulating superconducting state in a new superconductor material called uranium ditelluride (UTe2). This new superconductor could potentially solve one of the biggest challenges in quantum computing. UTe2 is believed to be a relevant topological superconductor, which could lead to more stable and useful quantum computers. The discovery has significant implications for the future of quantum computing and has attracted the attention of Microsoft, which has already invested billions of dollars into topological quantum computing.
BJP's poll manifesto for the upcoming Karnataka elections promises implementation of the proposed uniform civil code and NRC in the state, a special police wing to combat religious fundamentalism and terrorism, and an upgrade for Bengaluru to the status of a 'state capital region'. The party also promises free cooking gas cylinders thrice a year, 5kg of rice a month, and half a litre of free Nandini milk a day to BPL families.
