The growing sophistication of shareholder engagement reflects broader changes in capital markets, regulation, technology, and societal expectations of corporations.From Confrontation to StrategyHistorically, shareholder activism was often associated with hostile takeovers or public proxy battles focused narrowly on short-term financial gains.

Top quantum error correction approaches making strides

Quantum computers promise exponential speedups for certain problems, but they are exceptionally fragile. Quantum bits, or qubits, are highly sensitive to noise from their environment, including thermal fluctuations, electromagnetic interference, and imperfections in control systems. Even small disturbances can introduce errors that quickly overwhelm a computation.Quantum error correction (QEC) addresses this challenge by encoding logical qubits into entangled states of multiple physical qubits, allowing errors to be detected and corrected without directly measuring and collapsing the quantum information. Over the past decade, several QEC approaches have moved from theory to experimental demonstrations, with measurable improvements in error rates, scalability, and…
