https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00509-z: An interesting write-up of ongoing work in neuroimmunology
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00536-w: Google achieves a major milestone on the pathway to a working quantum computer by using a quantum error correction code to (slightly) slower error rates on quantum calculations. However, qubit lifetimes are still too low to scale error correction to practical scales.
