If you try and divide matter into smaller and smaller chunks, you'll eventually arrive at the particles we know of as fundamental: the ones that cannot be decomposed any further. The particles of the ...

Research reveals why AI systems can't become conscious—and what radically different computing substrates would be needed to ...

Is our consciousness continuous, or does it occur in discrete chunks? At first glance, this may seem like a strange question. It seems, to us, that our lives are like a movie, where we are perceiving ...

Researchers demonstrate a novel method for transforming continuous time crystals into discrete ones using subharmonic injection locking, offering new insights into symmetry breaking and control in ...

Two major theories have fueled a now 1,500 year-long debate started by Saint Augustine: Is consciousness continuous, where we are conscious at each single point in time, or is it discrete, where we ...

Julie Young is an experienced financial writer and editor. She specializes in financial analysis in capital planning and investment management. Eric's career includes extensive work in both public and ...

to speed up the construction of the discrete-time model by turning to Newton-type methods for solving the Schrödinger system (in the next section, we show numerically that a mixed Newton–Sinkhorn ...

For engineers, the question of whether to store information in analog or discrete form is easy to answer. Discrete data storage has clear advantages, not least of which is that it is much more robust ...
