Cryo-CMOS Circuits and Systems for Quantum Computing Applications

A fault-tolerant quantum computer with millions of quantum bits (qubits) requires massive yet very precise control electronics for the manipulation and readout of individual qubits. CMOS operating at cryogenic temperatures down to 4 K (cryo...

Universal terminal for cloud quantum computing

Abstract To bring the quantum computing capacities to the personal edge devices, the optimum approach is to have simple non-error-corrected personal devices that offload the computational tasks to scalable quantum computers via edge servers...

Robust Resistive Switching Constancy and Quantum Conductance in High-k Dielectric-Based Memristor for Neuromorphic Engineering

Abstract For neuromorphic computing and high-density data storage memory, memristive devices have recently gained a lot of interest. So far, memristive devices have suffered from switching parameter instability, such as distortions in resis...

Quantum description of Fermi arcs in Weyl semimetals in a magnetic field

For a Weyl semimetal (WSM) in a magnetic field, a semiclassical description of the Fermi-arc surface state dynamics is usually employed for explaining various unconventional magnetotransport phenomena, e.g., Weyl orbits, the three-dimension...

Continuous monitoring biosensors for advanced healthcare and environmental applications: challenges, material innovations and future directions

This review critically discusses the development of continuous monitoring biosensors and the technological developments that have facilitated the transition from one-off or periodic measurement sensors to longer-term, connected and autonomo...

Open source software in quantum computing

Open source software is becoming crucial in the design and testing of quantum algorithms. Many of the tools are backed by major commercial vendors with the goal to make it easier to develop quantum software: this mirrors how well-funded ope...

Distributed Systems

Distributed applications consist of a collection of heterogeneous but fully autonomous components that can execute on different computers. While each of these components has full control over its constituent subparts, there is no master com...

The Chubby lock service for loosely-coupled distributed systems

We describe our experiences with the Chubby lock service, which is intended to provide coarse-grained locking as well as reliable (though low-volume) storage for a loosely-coupled distributed system. Chubby provides an interface much like a...

Uniform interfaces for distributed systems

In designing a distributed system it is useful to distinguish between services provided to end-users and services provided to programs. The first type of service is provided by the user interface, the second by the system interface. Both us...

Structured Graphics for Distributed Systems

One of the most important functions of an intelligent workstation is to provide a state-of-the-art user interface to distributed resources.One aspect of such an interface is virtual terminal support for both local and remote applications wi...

Transparency and reflection in distributed systems

The recursive composition of systems to form functionally equivalent transparently distributed systems is an important paradigm for constructing distributed systems. The extent to which such recursive transparency can be achieved depends cr...

Self-organising software architectures for distributed systems

A self-organising software architecture is one in which components automatically configure their interaction in a way that is compatible with an overall architectural specification. The objective is to minimise the degree of explicit manage...

Organizational science and cybersecurity: abundant opportunities for research at the interface

Cybersecurity is an ever-present problem for organizations, but organizational science has barely begun to enter the arena of cybersecurity research. As a result, the "human factor" in cybersecurity research is much less studied than its te...

iNNvestigate neural networks!

In recent years, deep neural networks have revolutionized many application domains of machine learning and are key components of many critical decision or predictive processes. Therefore, it is crucial that domain specialists can understand...

Neural Networks: A Review from a Statistical Perspective

This paper informs a statistical readership about Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), points out some of the links with statistical methodology and encourages cross-disciplinary research in the directions most likely to bear fruit. The areas...

Damage Strength Model of Soil–Structure Interface Based on Equivalent Damage

Objective Pile-soil interaction plays a critical role in slope support engineering. Since the contact surface represents the weakest link in the system, analyzing the influence of the soil shear area on the mechanical properties and the con...
