Low-power electronics — means that the consumption of electric power is deliberately low, e.g. notebook processors. Electronics The density and speed of integrated circuit computing elements has increased roughly exponentially for a period of several decades, following… … Wikipedia
Charge qubit — Circuit diagram of a Cooper pair box circuit. The island (dotted line) is formed by the superconducting electrode between the gate capacitor and the junction capacitance. In quantum computing, a charge qubit is a superconducting qubit whose basis … Wikipedia
Magnetic refrigeration — Gadolinium alloy heats up inside the magnetic field and loses thermal energy to the environment, so it exits the field cooler than when it entered. Magnetic refrigeration is a cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect. This technique… … Wikipedia
Quantum dot cellular automaton — Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (sometimes referred to simply as quantum cellular automata, or QCA) Any device designed to represent data and perform computation, regardless of the physics principles it exploits and materials used to build it, must … Wikipedia

Clique problem — The brute force algorithm finds a 4 clique in this 7 vertex graph (the complement of the 7 vertex path graph) by systematically checking all C(7,4)=35 4 vertex subgraphs for completeness. In computer science, the clique problem refers to any of… … Wikipedia
Calorimeter — This article is about heat measuring devices. For particle detectors, see Calorimeter (particle physics). The world’s first ice calorimeter, used in the winter of 1782 83, by Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre Simon Laplace, to determine the heat… … Wikipedia
