It's hard enough to read news articles about quantum computing without it being conflated with other "quantum" research. (e.g. the "quantum compass" being tested as a GPS alternative, isn't quantum computing.)
At Microsoft, we’re advancing quantum computing at every level. With our newly developed family of 4D geometric codes, and our co-designed quantum work with Atom Computing
, we’re getting closer to making large-scale quantum computing a reality. Learn more: https://aka.ms/AQBlogQEC

No sector has seen greater change than automotive. Packed with intelligent sensors, AI, GPS, cameras and in-car software, today’s vehicles generate and transmit vast volumes of data.
While this helps with seamless connectivity and smarter driving, it also creates serious security, privacy, and compliance risks automotive firms and tech providers can’t afford to ignore.
