This is what really happened with Siri and Apple Intelligence, according to Apple

Apple has confirmed that Siri's full integration will arrive in 2026, a year later than initially anticipated.
The delay in delivering a more integrated Siri experience may stem from the challenge of balancing AI advancements with Apple's privacy principles.
During a podcast discussion, Apple's Craig Federighi provided insights into the status of Apple Intelligence, Siri, and AI.
Apple had initially promised features like conversational context, Type to Siri, and a redesigned UI, some of which were delivered, while others are pending.
Apple initially developed two architectures for Siri, V1 and V2, with the latter providing a more comprehensive and higher-quality experience.
The switch to the V2 architecture led to the delay in the Siri update, and Apple now avoids preannouncing dates until the new architecture is ready.
Apple's approach to AI focuses on integrating intelligence across all platforms while emphasizing user experience and privacy protection.
The goal of Apple Intelligence is not solely about creating a chatbot but integrating intelligence seamlessly across Apple's ecosystem.
Apple aims to provide AI experiences that meet users where they are, rather than directing them to specific AI chat experiences.
The interview with Apple's executives sheds light on their AI strategy and the evolution of Siri towards a more cohesive and capable framework.

Most accurate control of a single quantum bit achieved in Oxford lab

Physicists at the University of Oxford have set a new world record for accurately controlling a single quantum bit, achieving nearly 7 times greater accuracy than the previous record.
The team performed a quantum logic operation with errors occurring just 0.000015% of the time, making it more precise than a person getting struck by lightning (1 in 1.2 million chance).
The achievement brings physicists closer to building practical quantum computers with low error rates, leading to smaller, faster, and more efficient systems for real-world problem-solving.
The team used a trapped calcium ion qubit and microwaves for control, offering greater precision and cost-effectiveness, though practical quantum computing still requires further advancements.

IBM will build monster 10,000-qubit quantum computer by 2029 after 'solving science' behind fault tolerance — the biggest bottleneck to scaling up

IBM scientists have reportedly solved a major challenge in quantum computing, paving the way for a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.
Their research showcases new error-correction techniques, allowing for a system 20,000 times more powerful than current quantum computers.
The studies introduce novel error mitigation and correction methods, improving hardware scalability significantly.
The upcoming 'Starling' system will feature 200 logical qubits composed of around 10,000 physical qubits, with subsequent advancements in 'Blue Jay.'
IBM's quantum LDPC codes mark a breakthrough in fault-tolerance, making the scaling of quantum computers an engineering challenge rather than a scientific hurdle.
Quantum computers today excel in solving specific problems but face challenges in scalability and error correction due to the noisy nature of qubits.
Error correction is critical in quantum computing, driven by the susceptibility of qubits to errors, which can hinder calculations.
The new error-mitigation techniques, like LDPC codes, aim to reduce physical qubit requirements and enhance encoding rates significantly.
IBM's future quantum architectures, such as Loon, will integrate these advancements, aiming for faster error mitigation and scalable quantum operations.
The roadmap includes 'Starling' and 'Blue Jay,' expected to achieve impressive quantum operation capabilities using logical qubits.
