We propose a general impulsive model for scattering of molecules from a flat solid surface. It is assumed within the framework of this model that an encounter of an atom (or ion) with the surface is a series of elastic (in the direction…

Constraints in power consumption and computational power limit the skill of operational numerical weather prediction by classical computing methods. Quantum computing could potentially address both of these challenges. Herein, we present…
