Physics World Focus on Computing 2019

Physics World Focus on Computing 2019

The 2019 Physics World Focus on Computing showcases some of the exciting developments in computing on both sides of the classical/quantum divide. New machine-learning strategies, for example, are creating fresh possibilities in everything from materials science to particle physics, while a rise in the number of Internet-connected machines promises to make manufacturing more efficient. Find out how modelling and simulating scientific phenomena have expanded far beyond their original capabilities – and if advances in hardware and software could prove the optimists right when it comes to quantum computing.
