Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Abstract: Rate Splitting (RS) is a versatile and powerful technique for multi-antenna transmission. In this paper, we study the precoding optimization for RS, which is critically important for ...

Abstract: Continuous influence maximization (CIM) in social networks aims to maximize the expected influence spreading by assigning each user a continuous weight reflecting the likelihood and cost for ...

A team of quantum computer researchers at quantum computer maker D-Wave, working with an international team of physicists and engineers, is claiming that its latest quantum processor has been used to ...

Technology is giving us more options for plastic waste, but new methods are still far from perfect. This article is from The Spark, MIT Technology Review’s weekly climate newsletter. To receive it in ...
