  • Tailoring dynamical codes for biased noise: the X3Z3 Floquet code

    Tailoring dynamical codes for biased noise: the X3Z3 Floquet code

    Dynamical and Floquet codes

    We begin by defining dynamical and Floquet codes. Here we consider the Floquet codes to be defined on the lattice of a two-dimensional colour code, which is trivalent and three-colourable. A trivalent lattice has each…

  • Comprehensive analysis of disruption mitigation methods using gas and pellet-like injections in ITER-like Tokamaks

    Comprehensive analysis of disruption mitigation methods using gas and pellet-like injections in ITER-like Tokamaks

    A successful development of thermonuclear fusion reactors based on the Tokamak concept such as ITER or next generation device DEMO is basically impossible without a robust solution to suppress or mitigate the heat load on plasma facing components…

    This stunning X-ray advance could help detect cancer earlier

    When German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays in the late 1800s while experimenting with cathode ray tubes, it was a breakthrough that transformed science and medicine. So much so that the basic concept remains in use today. But a team…

    Lasers just made atoms dance, unlocking the future of electronics

    Researchers at Michigan State University have figured out how to use a fast laser to wiggle atoms in a way that temporarily changes the behavior of their host material. Their novel approach could lead to smaller, and more efficient electronics –…
