Konrad Zuse built the Z1, a mechanical programmable computing machine, between 1935/36 and 1937/38. The Z1 was a binary floating-point computing device. The individual logical gates were constructed using metallic plates and interconnection…

This paper provides the first comprehensive description of the Z1, the mechanical computer built by the German inventor Konrad Zuse in Berlin from 1936 to 1938. The paper describes the main structural elements of the machine, the high-level…

Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have spotlighted the pressing need for computing architectures that bridge the gap between memory bandwidth and processing power. The advent of deep neural networks has pushed traditional Von Neumann…

The increasing interest in spacecraft autonomy and the complex tasks to be accomplished by the spacecraft raise the need for a trustworthy approach to perform Verification & Validation of Guidance, Navigation, and Control algorithms. In the…

Stabilized optical frequency references (OFRs) are indispensable for atom-based quantum technologies, optical communications, and precision metrology. As these systems become more sophisticated, demands for compactness, robustness, and…

OPTIMA is a small, versatile high-speed photometer which is primarily intended for time resolved observations of young high energy pulsars at optical wavelengths. The detector system consists of eight fiber fed photon counters based on…

General-purpose robots should possess human-like dexterity and agility to perform tasks with the same versatility as us. A human-like form factor further enables the use of vast datasets of human-hand interactions. However, the primary…

A NEMA performance evaluation was conducted on the new General Electric (GE) digital Omni Legend PET-CT system with 32-cm extended field-of-view. This study marks the introduction of the first-ever commercially available clinical digital…

Spectroscopy requires high-precision wavelength discrimination but typically requires bulky, alignment-sensitive instrumentation. To address this, we present a compact computational spectrometer built from a single germanium PN photodiode.…

The Caltech HIgh-speed Multi-color camERA (CHIMERA) is a new instrument that has been developed for use at the prime focus of the Hale 200-inch telescope. Simultaneous optical imaging in two bands is enabled by a dichroic beam splitter…

We all know that the first laser device was realised by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Labs in 1960. Less known is that the very first computer simulations of the relaxation oscillations displayed by Maiman's laser were also performed in 1960 on…

Optical architectures have been emerging as an energy-efficient and high-throughput hardware platform to accelerate computationally intensive general matrix-matrix multiplications (GEMMs) in modern machine learning (ML) algorithms. However,…

The original Deutsch-Jozsa (oDJ) problem is for an oracle (realized here as a database) of size N, where, according to their claim, the deterministic solution of the problem on a classical Turing computer requires O(N) computational…

We present Oncilla robot, a novel mobile, quadruped legged locomotion machine. This large-cat sized, 5.1 robot is one of a kind of a recent, bioinspired legged robot class designed with the capability of model-free locomotion control.…

The control system of the VEPP-4 facility was designed more than fifteen years ago and based on the home-developed CAMAC-embedded minicomputers Odrenok [1]. Five years ago, all computers were connected via Ethernet network. This step…

We propose an implementation of a quantum computer to solve Deutsch's problem, which requires exponential time on a classical computer but only linear time with quantum parallelism. By using a dual-rail qubit representation as a simple form…

In 1975, Chaitin introduced his celebrated Omega number, the halting probability of a universal Chaitin machine, a universal Turing machine with a prefix-free domain. The Omega number's bits are {\em algorithmically random}--there is no…

Ising machines are purported to be better at solving large-scale combinatorial optimisation problems better than conventional von Neumann computers. However, these Ising machines are widely believed to be heuristics, whose promise is…

The optical vortex coronagraph (OVC) is one of the promising ways for direct imaging exoplanets because of its small inner working angle and high throughput. This paper presents the design and laboratory demonstration performance at 633nm…

The Oberwolfach Problem $OP(F)$ -- posed by Gerhard Ringel in 1967 -- is a paradigmatic Combinatorial Design problem asking whether the complete graph $K_v$ decomposes into edge-disjoint copies of a $2$-regular graph $F$ of order $v$. In…
