Dwight E. Neuenschwander: Tensor Calculus for Physics, Johns Hopkins University Press, November 2014, 248 S., geb., $45.00, ISBN: 9781421415659 Understanding tensors is essential for any physics ...

One of the first steps toward becoming a scientist is discovering the difference between speed and velocity. To nonscientists, it’s usually a meaningless distinction. Fast is fast, slow is slow. But ...

Tensor analysis has emerged as a fundamental mathematical framework in elucidating complex interactions within quantum physics and elasticity. In quantum physics, tensors facilitate the description of ...

Machine learning techniques that make use of tensor networks could manipulate data more efficiently and help open the black ...

Picture a suspension bridge. The river erodes the pillars, semi-trucks rumble across, blasts of gale-force wind whip between the cables. Through it all, the bridge must stand strong. If we can't see ...

Warp drive has long been shorthand for “pure fantasy,” a narrative device that lets starships hop between stars without ...

Artificial intelligence has grown so large and power hungry that even cutting edge data centers strain to keep up, yet a technique borrowed from quantum physics is starting to carve these systems down ...

TPUs are Google’s specialized ASICs built exclusively for accelerating tensor-heavy matrix multiplication used in deep learning models. TPUs use vast parallelism and matrix multiply units (MXUs) to ...
