Researchers work to create a roadmap on quantum materials

Phys.org  September 25, 2020 Recently the definition of quantum materials has broadened to cover all the materials that allow scientists and engineers to explore emergent quantum phenomena and their potential applications. In this roadmap an international team of researchers (USA – UT Austin, University of Minnesota, Cornell University, France, Germany, South Korea, Canada, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Chile, India, Brazil, Austria) aims to capture a snapshot of the most recent developments in the field, and to identify outstanding challenges and emerging opportunities. The experts in each discipline share their viewpoint and articulate their vision for quantum materials, reflecting the […]

We analyzed 16,625 papers [from Arxiv] to figure out where AI is headed next

MIT Technology Review  January 25, 2019 Through their analysis, they found three major trends: a shift toward machine learning during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a rise in the popularity of neural networks beginning in the early 2010s, and growth in reinforcement learning in the past few years. The biggest shift was a transition away from knowledge-based systems by the early 2000s. Through the 1990s and 2000s, there was steady competition between all these methods. Then, in 2012, a pivotal breakthrough led to another sea change, deep learning. In the last few years, however, reinforcement learning, which mimics the […]

Impact of AI and Mobile Internet compared to Growth of China and India 2013-2025

Next Big Future  July 20, 2018 Applications of the 12 technologies discussed in the report, Disruptive technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the global economy could have a potential economic impact between $14 trillion and $33 trillion a year in 2025. Technologies detailed in the report have been gestating for years and are familiar. A review in 2018 is that most of these are heading to the high end of the estimated impact. The overall GDP impact is less positive since there is quite a lot impact of technology is taking existing business from other technology. The report […]
