Quantum computers just simulated physics too complex for supercomputers

Scientists study matter under extreme conditions to uncover some of nature’s most fundamental behaviors. The Standard Model of particle physics contains the equations needed to describe these phenomena, but in many real situations such as fast-changing environments or extremely dense matter, those equations become too complex for even the most advanced classical supercomputers to handle….

Compliance relics: the case against PDFs and screenshots

Screenshots and PDFs have long served as the fallback tools of digital recordkeeping. They’re easy to create, straightforward to file, and for a long time, they seemed “good enough.” But in today’s regulatory environment, where agencies like the SEC and FINRA are demanding complete, contextual, and verifiable records, “good enough” is quickly becoming a liability….
