require sufficient computing power and large data sets to ...
Measuring bottlenecks in the ocean
Sept. 1, 2021
The
ocean provides a fluid environment with complex patterns of flow and
dispersal for the organisms that live within it. How these flows
transport organisms is relevant for biodiversity with potentially
important implications for ecosystem health and climate. An
international ...
Dynamical phase transitions in quantum Reservoir Computing
Aug. 23, 2021
Information can be processed by physical,
chemical and biological systems with a major example being our brain. In this
context, quantum reservoir computing is a promising approach in the fields of
complex systems and artificial neural networks characterized by a ...
Game theory to understand rigged economies
July 27, 2021
From Adam
Smith's 'invisible hand' to the very tangible effect of corruption and market
manipulation, economic systems have always been under suspicion. "The game
is rigged!" is often heard as a slogan to denounce injustices or
counter-intuitive behavior given ...
