Canadian company Nord Quantique has introduced a revolutionary method called the Tesseract code that enhances quantum error correction (QEC), leading to smaller, more energy-efficient quantum computers. This innovative approach integrates multimode encoding with bosonic qubit technology, mitigating common errors in quantum systems, as outlined in their research paper. Quantum computers, which utilize quantum bits or qubits capable of existing in multiple states, promise substantial advancements in diverse fields, including climate change and drug discovery. However, the complexities of error correction have hampered their development, adding both costs and energy demands. According to CEO Julien Camirand-Lemyre, the Tesseract code addresses these challenges by eliminating the need for numerous physical qubits. The firm estimates that its quantum computer, featuring 1,000 logical qubits, will only require 20 square meters of space and 120 kWh of energy to perform complex computations compared to 280,000 kWh for classical systems. This research positions Nord Quantique as a leader in the next phase of quantum technology, expected to materialize by 2029.

A tragic incident occurred in Nunavut, Canada, where Darryl Conack was fatally mauled by a bear during a hunting trip. The attack happened while Conack and his companions were taking a tea break after hunting narwhal and caribou, according to local reports. Eyewitness Leo Lejangiak recounted the horrifying moment, noting that a protective female bear, likely fearing for her cubs, attacked unexpectedly. Lejangiak attempted to scare the bear away by firing into the air, but it bit Laurent Junior Utack before turning its attention to Conack. Although Lejangiak secured another gun and ultimately killed both the bear and its cub, Conack had already succumbed to his injuries. Afterward, the surviving hunters wrapped Conack’s body and tried to return to their boat, now immobilized by heavy snowfall and surrounded by additional bears. A rescue team later arrived, but not without having to shoot four more bears. The incident, which marks the second fatal bear attack in Nunavut in seven years, has ignited discussions on wildlife safety in Arctic regions.

An Indian student, 21-year-old Vanshika Saini, was found dead in Ottawa, Canada, after being reported missing since April 25. According to The Times of India, Saini, the daughter of Aam Aadmi Party leader Davinder Saini, left her residence at approximately 9 PM that evening to search for a rental room and did not return. Her family reported her uncharacteristic silence, as she typically maintained regular communication with loved ones. Saini’s phone was switched off, and she subsequently missed an exam, prompting her friends to raise concern and notify local authorities. Following their search efforts, her body was discovered near a beach area in Ottawa. The Indian High Commission in Canada confirmed that they are in touch with Saini's family and stated that the local police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. As the investigation progresses, community members and friends are expressing shock and mourning the sudden loss of a student who had moved to Canada after completing her education in India.
