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.
