Complex numbers are numbers that consist of two parts — a real number and an imaginary number. Complex numbers are the building blocks of more intricate math, such as algebra. They can be applied to ...

Heterogeneous integration is driving innovation in the semiconductor industry, but it also introduces more complexity in chip design, which translates to more intricate test requirements. The ...

The ever-increasing complexity of FPGAs enables even modestly sized companies to design complex systems-on-reconfigurable-chips. The traditional way of designing complex systems is based on a variant ...

As computers get smaller and more powerful, engineers have begun exploring the potential of placing computers at the edge of networks, closer to the machinery and equipment being monitored and managed ...

Real and imaginary: The time-dependent Schrödinger equation formulated using complex numbers. (Courtesy: iStock/piranka) Complex numbers are essential to achieve the most accurate quantum-mechanical ...

Have you ever sat in a math classroom and wondered, “When will I ever use this?” You might have asked yourself this question when you first encountered “imaginary” numbers, and with good reason: What ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

An international team of researchers shows through a concrete theoretical experiment that the prediction by standard complex quantum theory cannot be expressed by its real counterpart and ratifies its ...
