Editing your PC's environment variables can save you time in Command Prompt and make your scripts more concise. It also lets ...

Variables are introduced using the example of a squirrel who wants to know where his nuts are buried, and how many he has. A variable is described as a special box that computers keep useful ...

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 ...

The field of quantum information processing aims to harness the uniquely non-classical features of quantum mechanics to perform computational tasks that surpass classical capabilities. In continuous ...

Every twenty to twenty-five years, trends and fads start reappearing. 2016 is shaping up to be a repeat of 1992; the X-files is back on the air, and a three-way presidential election is a possibility.

The MDY function converts MONTH, DAY, and YEAR values to a SAS date value. For example, MDY(10,17,91) returns the SAS date value '17OCT91'D. The YYQ function computes the SAS date for the first day of ...

The OUT= output data set contains only observations for the combination of both class variables, Flavor and Layers. Therefore, _TYPE_ contains the binary character string 11. The observations are ...

Continuous variable quantum information technology can provide an equivalent to analog data in the quantum world. Researchers are now demonstrating that it's possible to use these systems to avoid ...
