There are more lossless music streaming services than ever: Apple, Tidal, Amazon, Tidal, Deezer and Spotify (soon). Here's what you need to know.

We present a simple lossless audio codec, composed of an integer-reversible modulated lapped transform (MLT) followed by a backward-adaptive run-length/Golomb-Rice (RLGR) encoder. Its compression performance matches those of state-of-the-art predictive codecs, and it has the advantage that its compressed bitstream contains frequency-domain data that can be used for applications such as search, identification, and visualization.

MQA stands for Master Quality Authenticated, but what is it exactly? And is it something you should seek?

Transfer all of your playlists, songs, and favorite albums from Spotify to Apple Music.

The best music streaming services offer slick interfaces, high-quality audio and access to millions of tracks

Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music and Apple Music all offer hi-res streaming tiers, but which deserves your monthly fee?

In this guide, we will mainly talk about some information about 24 bit/192kHz music and show you why 24 bit/192kHz music downloads make no sense.

Plus: YouTube Music is finally adding podcasts, and Google Photos lets more users remove annoying friends from their pictures.

Are you confused with 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit, 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0?  This article will answer all of your questions.

Spotify is about to add a new lossless HiFi tier to its music streaming plans, but you almost certainly won't be able to hear the difference.

Parallel compression is a powerful mixing technique, but it’s often misunderstood. Read on to find out what it really does — and how it can help you make better mixes.

Scientists from EPFL have proposed a breakthrough error-resilience scheme for quantum computing, known as a "critical Schrödinger cat code." This novel system operates in a hybrid regime, exhibiting enhanced error suppression capabilities and impressive resistance to errors due to random frequency s

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a new superconducting diode, a key component in electronic devices, that could help scale up quantum computers for industry use and improve the performance of artificial intelligence systems. Compared to other superconducting diodes, the researchers' device is more energy efficient; can process multiple electrical signals at a time; and contains a series of gates to control the flow of energy, a feature that has never before been integrated into a superconducting diode.

A New Way to Play with Advanced Computing

Integrated photonics-based quantum key distribution system paves the way for network deployment. Scientists have crafted a quantum key distribution (QKD) system rooted in integrated photonics, allowing for the transmission secure keys at unprecedented speeds These initial, proof-of-concept experime

A new theory explains how fragile quantum states may be able to exist for hours or even days in our warm, wet brain. Experiments should soon test the idea.

Evolving quantum processes backwards on a quantum computer to damage information in the simulated past causes little change when returned to the ‘present.’ Using a quantum computer to simulate time travel, researchers have demonstrated that, in the quantum realm, there is no “butterfly effect.” I

In order to transmit images and audio securely, the authors present the Quantum Image Teleportation Protocol (QITP) and Quantum Audio Teleportation Protocol (QATP), which utilizes the Quantum Teleportation (QT) technique combined with Huffman Coding. The QITP secures the teleportation of quantum states of an image while simultaneously encrypting and decrypting them using Huffman Coding since it is only possible to recover or decode data if the prefix codes are known. To test their approach, the authors transformed pixels or RGB values from digital images into text, which was then fed into the Huffman Coding Technique. It has the advantage of compressing the entire text, which makes it faster to transmit vast amounts of information. This work also demonstrates the Quantum Audio Teleportation Protocol (QATP) with and without Huffman coding. For proof of concept, experimental evaluations were performed for both suggested QITPs and QATPs (Standard QITP, QITP with Huffman Coding, Standard QATP, QATP with Huffman Coding), using IBM Quantum Assembly Language (IBM QASM) Simulator and real quantum hardware using the Quantum Information Science Kit (Qiskit), a quantum computing platform.
