Effect of Gravity Expressed as a Fluid Dynamic Phenomenon on Space Curve

Authors : Balaka Biswas, Sunny Kumar

The alteration of the curvature of space time has been determined by directly linking gravity significantly to the Einstein Field Equations, with respect to coordinates in space and frame of reference. A similarity between gravitational field and the flow of fluids has been determined, by equating the like terms of the Einstein Field Equation and the Bernoulliâ€™s equation. Further... Read More

Computing the Geodesic Distance between Two Points in a Polyhedral Solid

Authors : Debarshi Sarkar, Krishanu Deyasi

This paper presents a method to compute the shortest (geodesic) distance between two given points in a polyhedral solid. The basic difference between the shortest and the geodesic shortest distance is that, in shortest distance between two points in a graph is the shortest path length connecting those two points while geodesic shortest distance between two points is the curvilinear distance...

Changing our Modern Society in Different Levels using Quantum Computing Device

Authors : Sanhita Koley, Aneesh Kar

Today classical computers stores information in bits, which take the discrete values 0 and 1. On the other hand information stored in Quantum computers are not up to two states buten code information as quantum bits, or qubits resulting in superposition and entanglement. The Qubits can be represented by atoms, ions, photons or electrons such that they are working together to act as a computer... Read More
