Quantum Computers

We know that quantum computers can solve problems of greater complexity in much less time and computational power as classical computers , and by the virtue of this innovation we stand on the edge of a breakthrough. Quantum computers provide an unprecedented advantage in simulation and mission-critical problem solving . Conceptualisation : Quantum mechanics date…

Compton scattering

Compton scattering is scattering of a photon by a charged particle (usually an electron). Compton effect is decrease in energy (increase in wavelength) of the photon after scattering. It was discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, It is an example of inelastic scattering of light by a free charged particle, where the wavelength of the scattered…

Photoeletric effect -Wave Particle Duality

Photoelectric effect is emission of electrons from surface of solid by light . The solid material is said to be photoemissive and ejected electrons are called photoelectrons. In 1887 observed by German physicist Heinrich Hertz during his experiment with spark gap generator(radio) as he noticed that adding ultraviolet light increases the sensitivity of the metal…

Quantum Tunnelling and Moore’s Law on Transistors

Transistors are electronic switches in IC’s which drive all the electronics today and are fundamental to growth in tech and computing. They are nearing the end of Moore’s Law ( with states doubling transistor count and reducing gate size every 2 years ) . We are now almost at a stage of having quantum or…

TLS ( Transport Layer Security)

TLS provides a secure channel between two communicating peers; the only requirement from the underlying transport is a reliable, in-order data stream. It has roots in SSL (Secure socket Layer ) and is used by popular application layer protocols like HTTP, FTpP SMTP, XMPP, SIP over TLS, DTLS etc. Historically TLS has been used with…

Semaphores and Mutex

Proposed by Dijkstra in 1965 for concurrent process management . A non negative variable used by threads for process synchronisation . In a multi process environment serval threads may be concurrently accessing a shared resource. This could lead to Race condition or data inconsistency. Semaphores follow mutual exclusion principle and solve the critical section problem…
