English

Subject field(s)
  • Computers and Calculators
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

Quantum computers that can perform vast numbers of calculations simultaneously may be closer to science fiction than reality, but previously unpublished documents indicate the secretive U. S. National Security Agency is working hard to build a real quantum supercomputer, powerful enough to decode virtually every form of encryption now known.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ordinateurs et calculateurs
  • Physique atomique
CONT

Les chercheurs n'auront pas besoin d'un matériel quantique particulièrement puissant pour se connecter à l'internet quantique – en fait, même un processeur d'un seul qubit pourrait faire l'affaire. Mais en reliant entre eux des dispositifs quantiques qui, dans leur état actuel, ont des capacités limitées, les scientifiques espèrent pouvoir créer un superordinateur quantique qui les surpassera tous.

Record 6 2008-05-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
DEF

A magnetic storage product [that offers] built-in protection from disk crashes, [has] the capacity of a hard drive, the portability of a floppy disk, and [offers] the ability to add unlimited capacity by utilizing more Bernoulli disks, and the ability to transport large files and store them away from the computer for security.

OBS

Named after the eighteenth-century physicist Daniel Bernoulli and developed by the Iomega Corporation in the 1980s, the Bernoulli drive was first marketed as the "Bernoulli Box" and then as the "Bernoulli."

OBS

Iomega’s founders employed an aerodynamic principle known as the "Bernoulli effect" to pull the [drive’s] flexible disk up to [its] read-write heads, where a cushion of air protected the heads from hitting the magnetic storage platter.
