Quantum computing represents a radical departure from conventional approaches to information processing, offering the potential for solving problems that can never be approached classically. While large-scale quantum computer hardware is still in development, several systems have recently become available as commercial cloud services. The authors compare performance of IBMQ-16-Melbourne, IBMQ-V...

Organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst assemblages were analysed in 31 surface sediment samples from the Ría de Vigo (NW Iberia) to obtain supporting evidence for interpretation of past environmental signals cores. Complementarily, totals pollen (and riparian taxa), foraminiferal linings and freshwater algae also considered test their value as (palaeo)environmental indicators fluvio-marine sediment...
