Geometric quantum computation harnesses the intrinsic properties of quantum‐mechanical state spaces by utilising geometric phases and holonomies to execute quantum logic operations. Unlike ...

Surfaces govern functional behaviours of geometrical products, especially high-precision and high-added-value products. Compared with the mean line-based filters, morphological filters, evolved from ...

Modern IT is based on the IC of semi-conductors. However, as the size a transistor is so small that the quantum effect of a IC is no longer negligible. Therefore, explore quantum devices that can ...

Taken from the December 2021 issue of Physics World where it first appeared under the headline "The shape of things". Later chapters explore more recent topics such as artificial intelligence and – ...
