Quantum Computing

Opening — Why this matters now Routing problems are the unglamorous backbone of modern logistics. Every e‑commerce delivery, warehouse dispatch, and last‑mile optimization problem eventually collapses into some variant of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). It is also, inconveniently, NP‑hard. Classical heuristics scale. Deep learning brings adaptability. Quantum computing promises expressivity. The uncomfortable question is whether these promises stack—or cancel each other out. ...

Opening — Why this matters now Quantum optics sits at an awkward intersection: conceptually elegant, mathematically unforgiving, and operationally tedious. Designing even a “classic” experiment often means stitching together domain intuition, optical components, and simulation code—usually in tools that were never designed for conversational exploration. As AI agents move from text completion to task execution, the obvious question emerges: can they design experiments, not just describe them? ...

If you’re tired of classical GANs hallucinating financial time series that look right but behave wrong, you’re not alone. Markets aren’t just stochastic — they’re structured, memory-laced, and irrational in predictable ways. A recent paper, Quantum Generative Modeling for Financial Time Series with Temporal Correlations, dives into whether quantum GANs (QGANs) — once considered an esoteric fantasy — might actually be better suited for this synthetic financial choreography. ...
