North Wales Police (NWP) has worked with D-Wave on a proof-of-concept hybrid quantum computing application to optimise the placement of police vehicles for emergency response. The pair reported that the hybrid quantum approach was able to deliver faster, more accurate and more efficient emergency response, allowing NWP to reduce the average incident response time by nearly 50%. Hybrid quantum computing works like an accelerator, combining the capabilities of quantum computers to solve complex problems with classical computing’s strength in processing logic operations sequentially at scale. According to D-Wave, the challenge with using classical optimisation technology is that NWP officers…

With so many Americans feeling that democracy itself is under threat and fearing more political violence, talking and listening to each other becomes more critical. Are they willing to engage in dialogue?Americans certainly come from diverse perspectives, but most feel people generally get along. They talk to people with whom they disagree politically, at least on occasion. And despite the potential for divisiveness in discussing politics, most don’t feel their personal relationships have been damaged…

China, on the other hand, frequently abandons upper stages in orbit. China launched 21 of the 26 hazardous new rocket bodies over the last 21 months, each averaging more than 4 metric tons (8,800 pounds). Two more came from US launchers, one from Russia, one from India, and one from Iran. This trend is likely to continue as China steps up deployment of two megaconstellations—Guowang and Thousand Sails—with thousands of communications satellites in low-Earth orbit. Launches of these constellations began last year. The Guowang and Thousand Sails satellites are relatively small and likely capable of maneuvering out of the way…

Despite numerous proof-of-concept initiatives, few are scaling to create real business value.Why does this occur? Many organisations misdiagnose the failures of AI transformation. They often attribute these shortcomings to technological issues or to…
