One of the first steps toward becoming a scientist is discovering the difference between speed and velocity. To nonscientists, it’s usually a meaningless distinction. Fast is fast, slow is slow. But ...

Interacting system: A diagram of the researchers' four-qubit superconducting quantum chip. (Courtesy: Y Yu) Researchers at Nanjing University in China have used a superconducting quantum chip to ...

Tensor analysis has emerged as a fundamental mathematical framework in elucidating complex interactions within quantum physics and elasticity. In quantum physics, tensors facilitate the description of ...

Picture a suspension bridge. The river erodes the pillars, semi-trucks rumble across, blasts of gale-force wind whip between the cables. Through it all, the bridge must stand strong. If we can't see ...

TPUs are Google’s specialized ASICs built exclusively for accelerating tensor-heavy matrix multiplication used in deep learning models. TPUs use vast parallelism and matrix multiply units (MXUs) to ...

We always enjoy [FloatHeadPhysics] explaining any math or physics topic. We don’t know if he’s acting or not, but he seems genuinely excited about every topic he covers, and it is infectious. He also ...
