US Bans Chinese Tech in Cars, Sweden's 100,000 Year Nuclear Waste Plan, and Schrödinger's Cat Quantum Breakthrough | Discover Daily by Perplexity | Podwise
This news podcast delivers three brief reports on current events. First, it covers the Biden administration's January 2025 ban on Chinese and Russian software and hardware in connected vehicles under £10,000 due to national security concerns, with a phased implementation through 2030. Second, it reports on Sweden's construction of a deep geologic repository for nuclear waste at Forsmark, designed for 100,000 years of safe storage, using copper canisters and bentonite clay. Finally, it highlights a quantum computing breakthrough at the University of New South Wales, creating a more reliable quantum architecture using a Schrödinger's cat state in a silicon chip, potentially improving error correction in quantum computers. The podcast concludes with calls to action, including subscribing and checking links for more information. The development of a multi-level quantum system (CUDIT) offers enhanced protection against computational errors and decoherence, a significant advancement in quantum computing.
