Bidiagonal matrix 1970-01-01
A **bidiagonal matrix** is a specific type of square matrix that has non-zero elements only on the main diagonal and either the diagonal directly above or directly below it. In other words, it can be classified into two types: 1. **Upper Bidiagonal Matrix**: A square matrix where non-zero elements are present on the main diagonal and the diagonal right above the main diagonal.
Bra–ket notation 1970-01-01
Bra-ket notation is a standard notation used in quantum mechanics to represent quantum states and their inner products. It was introduced by physicist Paul Dirac and is a part of his formulation of quantum mechanics. In bra-ket notation, a "ket" is denoted by the symbol \(|\psi\rangle\), where \(\psi\) represents a particular quantum state.
Spice (oceanography) 1970-01-01
In oceanography, "Spice" refers to a specific metric used to assess the properties of seawater that are related to the mixing and circulation of ocean waters, particularly in relation to temperature and salinity. The term "Spice" is an acronym for "Salinity and Potential Temperature Invariant for the Concentration of Enthalpy." It is a composite variable that helps to describe the mixing of water masses in the ocean by removing the influences of temperature and salinity.
Corrado Böhm 1970-01-01
Corrado Böhm (1923–2021) was an influential Italian mathematician and computer scientist known for his contributions to the field of theoretical computer science, particularly in the areas of programming languages, formal methods, and the foundation of computation. He is recognized for his work on the lambda calculus, type theory, and programming semantics.
Pi Josephson junction 1970-01-01
A π (pi) Josephson junction is a type of Josephson junction that exhibits a specific behavior in its superconducting properties. Typically, a Josephson junction consists of two superconductors separated by a thin insulating barrier, allowing Cooper pairs (pairs of electrons with opposite spins) to tunnel through the barrier.
Superconducting computing 1970-01-01
Superconducting computing refers to a type of computation that utilizes superconducting materials to perform calculations and process information. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity without resistance when cooled below a certain critical temperature. This property allows superconducting circuits to achieve extremely high speeds and low power consumption compared to traditional semiconductor-based computing technologies. ### Key Features of Superconducting Computing: 1. **Zero Resistance**: Superconductors carry electric current without any energy loss, which can lead to more efficient computations.

Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis 1970-01-01
The Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis, or Berthold Leibinger Innovation Award, is a prestigious award recognizing outstanding innovations in the field of photonics and laser technology. Established in honor of Berthold Leibinger, the former chairman of the TRUMPF Group, the award aims to promote creativity and developments that contribute to technological advancements in photonics.
Extreme Light Infrastructure 1970-01-01

Lattice theorists 1970-01-01
Lattice theorists are mathematicians or researchers who study lattice theory, a branch of abstract algebra. Lattice theory deals with structures known as lattices, which are mathematical objects that capture the notion of order and provide a framework for studying the relationships between elements based on a partial order.
Lattice of stable matchings 1970-01-01
The concept of a "lattice of stable matchings" arises in the context of matching theory, which is often studied in economics, game theory, and computer science. It involves systems in which two groups (such as men and women, or job applicants and jobs) are matched based on preferences in such a way that no pair of individuals would prefer each other over their current matches. This idea is closely associated with the Gale-Shapley algorithm, which produces stable matchings.
Long path laser 1970-01-01
A long path laser refers to a type of laser system used in various applications, particularly in environmental monitoring, spectroscopy, and remote sensing. The term "long path" typically implies that the laser beam travels a longer distance than conventional systems, which can enhance detection sensitivity and accuracy by allowing for a greater volume of sampled air or other media.
Subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole 1970-01-01
The Subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole (SIOD) is a climate pattern in the Indian Ocean that is characterized by variations in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across the region, typically occurring in the southern Indian Ocean. It is similar to the more widely recognized Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), but it involves different dynamics and has a distinct seasonal cycle.

Map of lattices 1970-01-01
A map of lattices is a mathematical concept that arises in the study of lattice theory, which deals with the algebraic structures known as lattices. A lattice is a partially ordered set in which any two elements have a unique supremum (least upper bound) and an infimum (greatest lower bound).
Pseudocomplement 1970-01-01
In mathematics, specifically in the field of lattice theory and order theory, a **pseudocomplement** is a concept that applies to certain types of lattices, specifically bounded lattices.
Skew lattice 1970-01-01
A skew lattice is a mathematical structure that generalizes the concept of a lattice, extending it to cases where the order relation is not necessarily antisymmetric. In a typical lattice, every two elements have a unique least upper bound (join) and greatest lower bound (meet). However, in a skew lattice, this property can still hold, but elements may not adhere to the requirement of antisymmetry, meaning that two different elements can be comparable.
