Q2 (NYSE:QTWO) executives said artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities and risks for digital banking, with personal AI agents emerging as another channel through which consumers and businesses may interact with financial institutions.
CrowdStrike has identified a China-linked cyber campaign using agentic AI to conduct simultaneous intrusions against more than 200 organisations across at least 14 countries.

We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first fully automated verification framework for QSP-based Hamiltonian simulation. Our framework exploits the structure of the simulation algorithm: Hamiltonians are given as weighted sums of Pauli strings, embedded into larger unitaries through block encodings, and transformed into time-evolution operators by quantum signal processing (QSP). Using a symbolic Pauli-sum semantics for ancilla-indexed circuit blocks, our verifier proves that the distinguished all-zero ancilla block is proportional to the target Hamiltonian and infers the subnormalization factor automatically. It then verifies the QSP layer by extracting the implemented polynomial transformation and certifying its approximation error. This structure-aware abstraction is essential for scalability. Composing our verified block encoding and QSP wrapper yields an estimated macro-expanded size of about 1.52 million gates. The verifier certifies the block encoding once and checks the QSP layer through its abstract interface, without expanding the oracle calls. Our implementation verifies block encodings of structured Pauli-sum Hamiltonians with up to 256 system qubits and…
In Nanbeige4.3, we take a foundational step toward pushing the boundaries of lightweight agents. Our strategy centers on building a high-capacity teacher agent first, which will subsequently anchor the distillation of advanced agentic capabilities into smaller models.
Large language models are frequently proposed as a route to AI-powered services for African communities, but they are least reliable exactly where the need is greatest: all African languages remain low-resource by any standard measure, and models trained on scraped,…
Over the past 25 years, sketching and sampling have become widely used tools for accelerating large-scale regression. In iterative randomized solvers, a basic design choice is whether to $\textit{reuse}$ the same sketch or draw $\textit{fresh}$ randomness at every step. For…
Zeroth-order optimization methods are essential for solving black-box problems where gradient information is unavailable or expensive to compute. This paper presents POEM-ES, a novel parameter-free stochastic zeroth-order algorithm that extends the recent POEM method by…
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that is often misdiagnosed in early stages due to its visual similarity to benign inflammatory dermatoses. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for improving patient outcomes. In this paper, we propose a…
