[6.5] Google develops quantum algorithm with real-world applications — expresso.pt (Portuguese) (+44)

Google announced "Quantum Echoes," the first quantum algorithm with a verifiable advantage over classical computers, paving the way for potential real-world scientific applications.

Published in Nature, the algorithm runs on Google's Willow chip. It is 13,000 times faster than classical methods and its results are verifiable, acting as a new type of "molecular ruler" to measure molecular structures.

Researchers predict real-world applications within five years. The advance could lead to breakthroughs in drug discovery, battery design, and fusion energy, shifting quantum computing from theoretical science to practical application.

[6.3] UK woman receives experimental CAR T therapy for multiple sclerosis — news.sky.com (+4)

A UK woman is the first to receive a new experimental cell therapy for multiple sclerosis, a treatment doctors believe could be a "game-changer" that halts the disease.

The global trial, led by University College London Hospitals, uses a patient’s own genetically modified immune cells. These re-engineered cells are infused back to target and destroy the rogue cells that cause nerve damage in MS.

This CAR T-cell therapy has already proven successful against some cancers. The initial MS trial will primarily test for safety and is recruiting patients whose condition is worsening despite other treatments.
