Moore’s Law is the most iconic statement of exponential technology advancement, doubling transistor count and hence functional performance every 24 months. Many pundits [1-3] have observed that while ...

This is the first in a four-part series looking at the big ideas in Ray Kurzweil's book The Singularity Is Near. Be sure to read the other articles: Technology Feels Like It’s Accelerating—Because It ...

My MacBook Pro is three years old, and for the first time in my life, a three-year-old primary computer doesn't feel like a crisis which must be resolved immediately. True, this is partly because I'm ...

Area laws for entanglement in quantum many-body systems give useful information about their low-temperature behaviour and are tightly connected to the possibility of good numerical simulations. An ...

A general solution of the functional equation $\int_{0}^{\infty }f(x+y)d\mu (y)$ = f(x) where f is a nonnegative function and μ is a σ-finite positive Borel measure on [0, ∞) is shown to be f(x) = p(x ...
