Quantum computing, a cutting-edge technology field, uses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that are impossible with classical computers. Quantum computing uses quantum bits (qubits) instead of the classical bits used by classical computers. While classical bits can be either 0 or 1, qubits can exist in a superposition of both states simultaneously. This property, along with quantum entanglement, allows quantum computers to perform certain calculations exponentially faster than classical computers. Now tech giants and intrepid startups alike are pouring billions of dollars into the quantum race, chasing potential breakthroughs in drug discovery, financial modeling and…

During my lifetime, it has always felt like governments have served the elderly at the expense of the young. The most notable example during the Conservative government was the massive increase in university tuition fees to £9,000. Meanwhile, older voters had the security of the triple lock on pensions and no shortage of policies that worked in their favour. To make matters worse, Rishi Sunak suggested during the last election campaign that national service should be compulsory for all 18-year-olds. We always seem to be either forgotten or punished.This Government needs to turn things around. They must start by restoring…
