In a recent publication in Nature Communications, a team of researchers presents a mathematical theory to address the challenge of barren plateaus in quantum machine learning.
In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.
PNNL researchers demonstrated a simple method to create stable, identical nanoparticles of PdTe2-like composition, which is known to be superconducting, on a WTe2 TMD support.
