How Far Off is a Universal Quantum Computer?
This article explores the development of quantum computers and the debate about whether or not they are achievable. There is disagreement about how close we are to achieving a universal quantum computer. Some scientists believe it is possible within the next decade, while others believe it may never be possible. The potential benefits of quantum computers are vast, and could include new drugs, improved materials, and more efficient financial modeling. However, there are also concerns about the security implications of quantum computing. Overall, the development of quantum computers is a complex and uncertain field.

Will Quantum Computers Provide a Quantum Leap in Computing?
This article explores the development of quantum computers. Unlike regular computers that use bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits that can be 0 and 1 at the same time. This allows them to solve problems impossible for classical computers. There are challenges, such as qubit fragility, but researchers are making progress. The potential benefits include new drugs, improved weather forecasts, and safer self-driving cars.

Hindsight is Good — Foresight is Better
This article discusses a self-critical report by the US Army on the first 18 months of the Iraq War. The report admits the lack of planning for the invasion's aftermath and highlights the need for a "SysAdmin Force" focused on post-war stabilization. The author concludes by praising the Army's ability to learn and adapt but emphasizes the importance of foresight in preventing future casualties.

The Fear of Nuclear Proliferation
This article discusses the challenges of international intervention in the aftermath of a deadly cyclone in Myanmar. The author acknowledges the limitations of intervention due to a reluctant international community and the resurgence of national sovereignty. However, the article argues that intervention should remain a tool, used with leverage, to achieve a more humane world order.

Is Quantum Computing the Future?
This article compares the excitement about quantum computing to the optimism of the 1950s. Quantum computers use qubits that can be 0 and 1 simultaneously, which could revolutionize fields like medicine and security. However, there are challenges, such as qubit fragility. Experts are optimistic that these challenges will be overcome.

Will Quantum Computing Mark the End of the Classical Computing Era?
This article discusses the potential impact of quantum computers. Quantum computers use qubits that can be 0 and 1 at the same time, which is different from classical bits. This difference allows quantum computers to solve problems impossible for classical computers. Quantum computers will likely require new algorithms and will be expensive. Experts predict quantum computers will revolutionize many fields including medicine, materials science, and artificial intelligence. However, there are challenges such as qubit fragility and the need for very cold temperatures.
