Novel Hardware Approach Produces a New Quantum Computing Paradigm

Department of Energy, Office of Science — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 13:00:43 EST

To run on a quantum computer, algorithms must be decomposed into a sequence of quantum gates, a difficult process. In this study, researchers developed a novel "hybrid" approach to quantum hardware design that replaces part of the quantum circuit with a physical evolution that relies on natural interactions within the system. This approach significantly reduces the complexity of executing quantum algorithms.

Are Brain Delays a Computational Disadvantage?

Bar-Ilan University — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 05:00:55 EST

Biological components are less reliable than electrical ones, and rather than instantaneously receive the incoming signals, the signals arrive with a variety of delays.

In Double Breakthrough, Mathematician Solves Two Long-Standing Problems

Rutgers University-New Brunswick — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 12:05:41 EST

A Rutgers University-New Brunswick professor who has devoted his career to resolving the mysteries of higher mathematics has solved two separate, fundamental problems that have perplexed mathematicians for decades. The solutions to these long-standing problems could further enhance our understanding of symmetries of structures and objects in nature and science, and of long-term behavior of various random processes arising in fields ranging from chemistry and physics to engineering, computer science and economics.

Brookhaven's Computing Center Reaches 300 Petabytes of Stored Data

Brookhaven National Laboratory — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 09:05:13 EST

The Scientific Data and Computing Center (SDCC) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory now stores more than 300 petabytes of data. That's far more data than would be needed to store everything written by humankind since the dawn of history -- or, if you prefer your media in video format, all the movies ever created.

Two-Stage Computer Algorithm Will Detect Epilepsy with High Precision

Scientific Project Lomonosov — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 09:05:47 EST

Scientists elaborated algorithm that much better detects epilepsy on EEG recordings, than other automated methods. To achieve this, authors combined two approaches to analysis of signals of brain activity - classifier, that doesn't require education, and trainable neural network. The project will enable to automate analysis of EEG and so simplify the process of detecting of epilepsy. Results of the research, supported by the grant of Presidential program of Russian Scientific Foundation, are published in the magazine IEEE Access.
