Quantum Computer Scale-up

Wiring up a Quantum Computer

Quantum control of radiation-matter interactions at the nano-scale could yield significant improvements in fields ranging from atomic physics to magnetic resonance and chemistry. Although small quantum systems can be manipulated with high precision, there is still no clear path to build scalable quantum devices. We address this challenge with a bottom-up approach, where small quantum registers ...

Production Scale Up of Nanofibers: A Review

Spacetime at the Planck Scale: The Quantum Computer View

We assume that space-time at the Planck scale is discrete, quantised in Planck units and "qubitsed" (each pixel of Planck area encodes one qubit), that is, quantum spacetime can be viewed as a quantum computer. Within this model, one finds that quantum space-time itself is entangled, and can quantum-evaluate Boolean functions which are the laws of Physics in their discrete and fundamental form.

A Scale-up Design Procedure for Rotating Biological Contactors

A scale-up design procedure, based on a new physical mass transfer (PMT) model, whichdescribes the performance, for aerobic rotating biological contactors (RBC’s) is developed. This scale-up procedure can be used to determine the disc surface area needed to prevent an oxygen limitation or to obtain a specific degree of treatment. In contrast to the empirical, and most previous RBC performance m...

Scale-up Strategies for Membrane-Based Desalination Processes: A Review

Membrane-based technologies have increasingly been chosen in desalination processes, which is evidenced by the increase of large-scale plants constructed in recent years. Indeed, several appropriate strategies should be considered to minimize problems faced during the construction, such as membrane system designs, area requirement, energy requirement, operation and maintenance, and environmenta...
