Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the unique properties of quantum computing to tackle complex combinatorial optimization problems (a class of mathematical problems ...
We developed mixture model inference with discrete-coupled autoencoders (MMIDAS), an unsupervised variational framework that jointly learns discrete clusters and continuous cluster-specific ...
Hybrid entanglement between discrete-variable (DV) and continuous-variable (CV) quantum systems is an essential resource for heterogeneous quantum networks. Our previous work showed that in lossy ...
We talk a lot about quantum computation and quantum key distribution here at Ars, but when we do this, we’re usually talking about a discrete logic system. That is, the quantum system uses a set of ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you want to learn what the Universe is made out of at a fundamental ...
Scientists believe that time is continuous, not discrete—roughly speaking, they believe that it does not progress in "chunks," but rather "flows," smoothly and continuously. So they often model the ...
