Lord Kelvin’s name comes up anytime you start looking at the history of science and technology. In addition to working on transatlantic cables and thermodynamics, he also built an early ...

The analog computer of decades-gone-by is something many of us younger engineers never got the chance to experience first hand. It’s pretty much a case of reading about them on these fine pages ...

Simulations of quantum many-body problems are a challenge for even the most powerful conventional computers. Quantum ...

So, if your quantum computer has four qubits, you can store up to 16 states. However, the study published in the Nature Journal says that this chip can handle 14-bit resolution (or 2^14).

In the 1930s, the Russian scientist Vladimir Lukyanov built an analog computer known as the "Water Integrator" or "Lukyanov's Integrator." This computer was built to solve partial differential ...

Bench power supplies with triple outputs, 0-30VDC and +/- 0-15VDC. Digital multi meter with 6 ½ digit display Personal computers are used to run office applications, web browsers and SPICE software.

The technology behind this invention His was one of the first analog computers built in the Soviet Union. It worked by careful handling of water through a room full of interconnected pipes and pumps.

A thermometer is a simple analog computer. As the temperature varies, the mercury moves correspondingly. A slide rule is another example. Although special-purpose, complex analog computers are ...

Simulations of quantum many-body systems are an important goal for nuclear and high-energy physics. Many-body problems ...
