In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

“For instance, suppose you heat the right half of a solid and cool the left half, and then isolate it,” says Chiba. “Energy ...

Despite owning one of the best bread machines, I still enjoy getting my hands dirty and baking bread from scratch. When I’m short on time and want a standard loaf, I’ll pop all the ingredients into my ...

The U.S. government has begun using blockchains to disseminate key economic data, starting with the U.S. Department of Commerce's release of gross-domestic product (GDP) numbers on Thursday, which was ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it may seem like geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form ...

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses demo failed twice during a live presentation, with cooking assistant and video call features. Jamie Dimon says JPMorgan will comply with any legal ...

Abstract: Discrete-time Control Barrier Functions (DTCBFs) form a powerful control theoretic tool to guarantee safety and synthesize safe controllers for discrete-time dynamical systems. In this paper ...

Abstract: Learning Model Predictive Control (LMPC) is a data-driven approach to MPC that enhances closed-loop performance by leveraging data from successive task iterations to approximate the solution ...

The MPC-CBF optimization problem is given by: $$\begin{aligned} \min_{u_{t: t+N-1 \mid t}} \quad & \frac{1}{2} \tilde{x}_N^T Q_x \tilde{x}_N+\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} \frac{1 ...
