Most engineers with a few years’ experience have encountered “feature creep”—the tendency to keep adding extra features onto a piece of equipment so the original product becomes more complicated and ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). For more than 20 years, Ivan Deutsch has struggled to design the guts of a working quantum computer. He has not been alone. The quest to harness the ...

We have analog quantum computers that can be used to solve very specific problems, and several different approaches to general purpose quantum computers, including those with semiconducting qubits, ...

The race is on to scale up quantum computing, transforming it from an esoteric research tool into a commercially viable, general-purpose machine. Special-purpose quantum computers have been available ...

A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

Creation of a single-chip analog/hybrid computer reveals that special analog versions of computers could be used to solve complex problems such as nonlinear differential equations. Just recently, I ...

Your design task, should you decide to accept it: given an input voltage, square it. Ok, that’s too hard since squaring 8 volts would give you 64 volts, so let’s say the output should be 10% of the ...
