December 17th, 11am-12:30pm December 17, 2020 12:30 PM Virtual Meeting Talk Abstract: Research in programming methodology led to the development of the principles and methods that underlie how the implementations of modern software systems are designed and organized. At the center of this work are the notions of abstraction and modularity. These ideas are related: design is the process of inventing and identifying abstractions, which become the modules that make up the imple...

ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing (TQC), a new peer-reviewed journal with a focus on the theory and practice of quantum computing. TQC publishes high-impact, original research papers and select surveys on topics in quantum computing and quantum information science. Though quantum computing, an interdisciplinary field that draws on contributions from computer science, physics, mathematics, and other disciplines, has been around since the 1980s, recent advances have propelled it to become on...

Map reveals the most popular famous people linked to Dorset towns AN interactive map reveals the most searched for famous people in towns across Dorset. The map, which can be found through this link, uses the most popular searches on Wikipedia to change the face of the county.
