Quantum Interconnects Link Two 120-Qubit Processors (IBM Research)

IBM researchers demonstrate meter-scale couplers linking modular quantum hardware

By GPU Data Hub Desk · GPU Data Hub·Editorial standards·

Scientists at IBM Research have demonstrated meter-scale quantum interconnects designed to couple modular quantum processors together. The breakthrough uses four long-distance couplers to facilitate coherent operations across separate modules over extended distances. This modular methodology aims to address physical scaling constraints as multi-chip quantum architectures expand in size and qubit density.

Hardware Defense Blocks Memory-Dependent Prefetcher Leakage (KU Leuven)

Academics from KU Leuven and Eurecom have introduced SecDMP, a novel hardware defence designed to block information leakage stemming from data memory-dependent prefetching. The research classifies diverse vulnerability vectors associated with modern prefetchers and outlines a secure architectural approach that prevents side-channel data exposure without sacrificing efficiency. The proposed mitigations address emerging microarchitectural threats that affect modern high-performance processor designs.

Co-Optimizing Access Points Improves Analog Placement (UT Austin)

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have detailed APPlace, a framework aimed at improving analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design through the simultaneous optimisation of component placement and routing access points. The automated layout approach is designed to mitigate device mismatches and parasitic resistance, which frequently degrade overall circuit performance.

The 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 got another ‘unavoidable’ RAM price hike

Pricing for the 16GB variant of the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer has climbed to $385 following an $80 rise attributable to ongoing memory supply constraints. The configuration originally debuted at $120, meaning retail costs have more than tripled since launch. Sister products including the 16GB Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 have similarly been subjected to price increases.
