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 ...

Researchers from The University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel computational framework that addresses a longstanding challenge in statistical physics. The ...

Tensor network methods have emerged as powerful tools in the investigation of strongly correlated quantum systems, offering systematic ways to capture and manipulate the entanglement inherent in ...

A hunk of material bustles with electrons, one tickling another as they bop around. Quantifying how one particle jostles others in that scrum is so complicated that, beginning in the 1990s, physicists ...

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 ...
