Metamaterials are artificially engineered devices that go beyond the properties of conventional materials in nature. Metamaterials allow the creation of negative refractive indexes, light trapping with epsilon-near-zero compounds, bandgap…
We discuss the physical nature of quantum information, in particular focussing on tasks that are achievable by some physical realizations of qubits but not by others.
A key challenge in complex design problems that permeate science and engineering is the need to balance design objectives for specific design elements or subsystems with global system objectives. Global objectives give rise to competing…
I argue that scientific determinism is not supported by facts, but results from the elegance of the mathematical language physicists use, in particular from the so-called real numbers and their infinite series of digits. Classical physics…
Machine learning-based design has gained traction in the sciences, most notably in the design of small molecules, materials, and proteins, with societal implications spanning drug development and manufacturing, plastic degradation, and…
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) can be found everywhere: smart homes, autonomous vehicles, aircrafts, healthcare, agriculture and industrial production lines. CPSs are often critical, as system failure can cause serious damage to property and…
Since the announcement in 2011 of the Materials Genome Initiative by the Obama administration, much attention has been given to the subject of materials design to accelerate the discovery of new materials that could have technological…
Graphic design is an effective language for visual communication. Using complex composition of visual elements (e.g., shape, color, font) guided by design principles and aesthetics, design helps produce more visually-appealing content. The…
Learning from nature has been a quest of humanity for millennia. While this has taken the form of humans assessing natural designs such as bones, butterfly wings, or spider webs, we can now achieve generating designs using advanced…
Trying to be effective (no matter who exactly and in what field) a person face the problem which inevitably destroys all our attempts to easily get to a desired goal. The problem is the existence of some insuperable barriers for our mind,…
Current condensed matter research is centered on advanced materials and their distinctive features. The interest in Quantum materials (QMs) continues to increase without any decrease due to their novel phenomenon and potential as platforms…
The concept of quantum coherence and its possible use as a resource are currently the subject of active researches. Uncertainty and complementarity relations for quantum coherence allow one to study its changes with respect to other…
The study of the properties of cosmic structures in the universe is one of the most fascinating subject of the modern cosmology research. Far from being predicted, the large scale structure of the matter distribution is a very recent…
While material innovation can enable sustainable development, environmental and social impacts of emerging materials are often assessed only after design choices are "locked in." Here, we argue for a shift in perspective: life cycle…
Quantum defects are atomic defects in materials that provide resources to construct quantum information devices such as single-photon emitters (SPEs) and spin qubits. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials gained prominence as a host of…
When creating a quantum system whose natural dynamics provide useful computational operations, designers have two key tools at their disposal: the (constrained) choice of both the Hamiltonian and the the initial state of the system (an…
Quantum information science is presented in a fashion that may be useful to a device or materials engineer. Spintronic implementations are emphasized.
The first step in the construction of a regression model or a data-driven analysis, aiming to predict or elucidate the relationship between the atomic scale structure of matter and its properties, involves transforming the Cartesian…
To facilitate the design and optimization of nanomaterials for a given application it is necessary to understand the relationship between structure and physical properties. For large nanomaterials, there is imprecise structural information…
Currently it is widely accepted that the language of science is mathematics. This book explores an alternative idea where the future of science is based on the language of algorithms and programs. How such a language can actually be…
