Statistical Physics with R: Ising Model with Monte Carlo

isingLenzMC: Monte Carlo for Classical Ising Model Stable release on CRAN Description Classical Ising Model is a land mark system in statistical physics. The model explains the physics of spin glasses and magnetic materials, and cooperative phenomenon in general, for example phase transitions and neural networks. This package provides utilities to simulate one dimensional Ising Model with Metropolis and Glauber Monte Carlo with single flip dynamics in periodic boundary conditions. Utility fun

Quantum Computers Are Here and They’re Real. You Just Haven’t Noticed Yet

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical supercomputer. The reality of quantum computers hasn’t quite lived up to its hype, however. Claims of “quantum advantage”—problems regular computers can’t solve but quantum computers can—draw criticism from both skeptics and enthusiasts in the field. Certainly, we’ve seen genuinely impressive advancem

Major quantum computing advance made obsolete by teenager (2018)

A teenager from Texas has taken quantum computing down a notch. In a paper posted online earlier this month, 18-year-old Ewin Tang proved that ordinary computers can solve an important computing problem with performance potentially comparable to that of a quantum computer. In its most practical form, the “recommendation problem” relates to how services like Amazon and Netflix determine which products you might like to try. Computer scientists had considered it to be one of the best examples of

Quantum Hardware Readiness for Two-Step Quantum Search Algorithm

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) has challenged computer scientists for decades. Finding the shortest route that visits all cities exactly once sounds simple, but it becomes computationally explosive as the number of destinations grows. With applications spanning logistics, manufacturing, and network optimization, any breakthrough in solving TSP efficiently could transform entire industries.
