Ever get lost in ad settings? 🕵️‍♂️
New UChicago CS research by Kevin Bryson confirms US ad transparency tools are "hard to discover, harder to use."
Without regulation, the ad space is a "lawless land" where users have almost no control. 🛑
Hard to Discover, Harder to Use: The Widespread Failure of Ad Transparency Settings - Department of Computer Science
Have you ever seen a strangely specific ad follow you around the internet and wondered why? You dive into your account settings, looking for a way to control what data is being used, only to find a confusing maze of menus, vague descriptions, and options that don’t seem to do what you want....

Can noise actually make quantum computers easier to simulate?
In a Physics Magazine piece, UChicago CS Prof. Bill Fefferman analyzes research showing that without error correction, high noise kills quantum advantage.
To succeed, we must find the "Goldilocks zone" of qubits.
Constraints on Quantum-Advantage Experiments Due to Noise - Department of Computer Science
The original version of this story was published in Physics Magazine We are currently in a fascinating era of quantum computing in which near-term experiments may be able to achieve “quantum advantage” and outperform classical computers at certain tasks. While a conclusive demonstration of quantum advantage will be a watershed moment in the...
