The world’s largest robotics conference, the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, came to London last week, where a dizzying array of cutting-edge robots were on display, including robotic dogs, flying robots, controllable androids and robot artists. But it was avatars – robots that allow a human to interact …

An IBM quantum computer that uses superconducting qubits IBM For the first time, a superconducting circuit has passed a Bell test, the premier test in physics to confirm a system’s quantum behaviour. These circuits are used in quantum computers, and this test proves that their quantum bits are truly entangled. When …
