Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the unique properties of quantum computing to tackle complex combinatorial optimization problems (a class of mathematical problems ...

The first continuously variable transmission fitted to an automobile actually has its roots in the late 19th century, though the technology has only become popular in the last two decades or so. While ...

We talk a lot about quantum computation and quantum key distribution here at Ars, but when we do this, we’re usually talking about a discrete logic system. That is, the quantum system uses a set of ...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) enables the generation of information-theoretic security keys between two parties over insecure quantum channels, with the security of these shared keys guaranteed by ...

When the subject of CVTs or continuously variable transmissions comes up, the chances are that most readers will think of the various motor vehicles they’ve appeared in. Whether it’s a DAF, a Ford, a ...

The continuous-variable quantum key distribution with entanglement in the middle, a semi-device-independent protocol, places the source at the untrusted third party between Alice and Bob, and thus has ...

Set to debut in a new 1.6-liter 4-cylinder Smartstream turbo engine, Hyundai's new valve tech is able to continuously change the duration of valve openings to suit driving conditions, which Hyundai ...

Variable-length intake runners aren't a particularly new concept, but Ferrari's system in its LaFerrari is next-level fascinating. Let Engineering Explained give you the rundown. You see variable ...

Back in October, Nissan's Executive Vice President Andy Palmer publicly stated that the Toybaru rear-drive coupe that's taken the enthusiast market by storm is "designed for a 50-year-old. It's for a ...
