Will light be the basis for quantum computing?

Using a compact optical platform that exploits the quantum characteristics of light, scientists are one step closer to realizing the first powerful photonic quantum computer. The researchers revealed to have generated a particular class of quantum states - d-level cluster states, robust and powerful than any other such states demonstrated thus far -, as well as to have used them to implement novel quantum operations. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181203111603.htm

Artificial intelligence for studying the ancient human populations of Patagonia

Researchers have used statistical techniques of automatic learning to analyze mobility patterns and technology of the hunter-gatherer groups that inhabited the Southern Cone of America, from the time they arrived about 12,000 years ago until the end of the 19th century. Big data from archaeological sites located in the extreme south of Patagonia have been used for this study. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181203111610.htm
