Evolutionary Computations Explained in 9 Simple Questions
…ing the effectiveness of similar evolutionary algorithms. How confident can we be about a solution? Can it be double-checked? It is important to differentiate between a solution’s correctness and its effectiveness, or proximity to the optimum. It is usually not all that difficult to find a correct solution to a task that’s tackled with evolutionary al…

At-Home Lab Experiments: A Look at the Summer SCAMT Workshop Week 2020
…ators. I was the “youngest” one – the majority were senior-year students or graduates. It was funny to discover that while there was a distance of several thousand kilometers between some of us, two of the girls and I were practically living in the same district. And we all met here on this project. It wasn’t very difficult to adapt to online communication, actually.…

Scientists Suggest Using Gold Nanoparticle Metasurfaces to Determine Substance Molecular Composition
…ted with.” The spectrometers used today usually operate in the mid-infrared spectral range, with the wavelength of 2.5-25 micrometers. In this range, the differences between the energy of incident light and the energy that already passed through the substance can be easily defined and analyzed. The analyzers working in this range, however, are relatively la…

ITMO University Researchers Suggest Modification of Quantum Encryption System With Compact Detector
…re they suggest a way to solve these problems. “Our research facilitates a more active introduction of QKD systems,” says Eduard Samsonov. “The existing fiber-optic networks use a certain infrastructure and we would like to embed QKD systems in this infrastructure with minimum effort. For instance, for quite some time there has been an idea to use coherent …
