• Researchers Discover New Nanoparticles with Exclusively Lateral Light Scattering

  …Studies on light scattering in all-dielectric photonics often refer to the so-called Kerker effect which occurs when an object scatters light only in forward direction. In contrast, the scattering of light in the backward direction is called the anti-Kerker effect. Utilizing these phenomena, scientists can achieve unusual ways of light …

• Quantum Computing: Challenges, Prospects, and Current Developments

  …h the regular computer, which conducts operations using bits (zeroes and ones) and stores them using bitstreams. Once we attach logical operations to a bitstream, we end up with a function that operates in bits. In computer science, we have the concept of a “universal Turing machine”. It proves that any algorithm has a finite number of operations and can produce a…
