The high-profile effort to engage with the tech community marks a shift in Khan's outreach strategy. She made a similar, but more low-key attempt in New York in June, meeting a small group of venture capital investors and speaking about tech regulations at a local bookstore. At a Mission District cafe on Thursday where about half the room raised their hands to identify as workers for Big Tech companies, Khan was greeted with applause and scattered cheers for a fireside chat.said he “was a big fan, even at Meta, of what you did to my boss." It was an apparent reference to the agency’s suit attempting to block the company’s acquisition of Within Limited, an AI startup.

Study observes strong noise correlations between silicon qubitsTo build highly performing quantum computers, researchers should be able to reliably derive information about the noise inside them, while also identifying effective strategies to suppress this noise. In recent years, significant progress has been made in this direction, enabling operation errors below 1% in various quantum computing platforms.
