Rice, Northwestern Universities Study Borophene; May Serve Quantum Information Sciences
IMAGE: Scientists at Rice and Northwestern universities have developed a technique to get images of two-dimensional borophene and match them with models. Polymorphic borophene shows promise for electronic, thermal, optical and other applications. The researchers also created a phase diagram, at right, with details about borophene polymorphs observed to date. Image Credit: Illustration by Xiaolong […]
Quantum Computing and High-performance Computers (“Supercomputers”)
Quantum Computing and High-performance Computers (“Supercomputers”). Supercomputers, well, high-performance computers, are attempting to solve similar modern-day issues we hope quantum computing will be able to solve. However, these systems are attempting this today while we wait for quantum. What are they and how might they differ from quantum computers? High-performance Computing. Excerpts: A look at […]
