Distributed Quantum Algorithms

Quantum advantages designate situations where processing qubits of information solves a task significantly more efficiently than processing classical bits of information in some basic abstract scenario. Our understanding of quantum advantages for distributed computing is limited. In particular, it is not well understood whether quantum information can deal with issues inherent to networks such as […]

Programmable Transport in Hardware

As network speeds reach hundreds of gigabits per second and beyond, there is increasing interest in using programmable Network Interface Cards (NICs) to improve network performance. A key area of focus is accelerating transport protocols, which significantly impact network performance. Transport protocols are continuously re-designed and updated, especially in large-scale networks, to optimize network performance. […]

Understanding the changes in functionality and mechanical properties of cold plasma-activated edible coatings and its impact on quality and safety of pears

Edible coatings have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional plastic packaging due to their biodegradability, minimal environmental impact, and ability to incorporate functional ingredients. Despite these advantages, most existing edible coatings suffer from poor mechanical properties and limited surface functionality, which constrain their industrial use and commercialization. Cold plasma (CP) has shown significant interest […]
