Quantum Tunnelling

What is Quantum Tunnelling?

Quantum tunnelling is a quantum mechanical topic in which subatomic particles probability disappears from one side of potential barriers and appears on other side without any probability current flow inside the barrier. In this effect particles have a finite probability of crossing an energy barrier. Tunneling occur in quantum mechanics when electron pass through the barrier which they possibly cannot pass. Its occur because of significant solution of Schrodinger Equation.

Applications of Quantum Tunnelling

Quantum tunnelling has its uses in Physics. Its uses are in nuclear fission, quantum computing, tunnel diode and scanning tunnelling microscope. Radioactive decay and the behavior of semiconductors and superconductors are also related applications of Quantum Tunnelling.

How Quantum Tunnelling happens?

Lets get the example of throwing ball. Suppose you throw a ball above a wall. What will happen ? There are two possibilities if ball have enough energy to pass the hill it will go other side or come back down. But in quantum physics things are different.Even if the particles not have energy to pass the barriers it will appear other side. If the particles confront the energy barrier this changes the wave function, which start the decay inside the barrier. This helps to pass the particles.

The Amazing Vantablack Material...!!

Vantablack is a material developed by Surrey NanoSystems in the United Kingdom and is one of the darkest substances known, absorbing up to 99.96% of visible light (at 663 nm if the light is perpendicular to the material).The name is a compound of the acronym VANTA (vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays) and the color black. Vantablack is not actually a color pigment or a paint, but a coating of carbon nanotubes. These have the property of absorbing incident light almost completely. Against a deep black background, objects coated in Vantablack material seem to disappear, as the perception of spatial depth is lost. This is because the human eye perceives shapes coated in Vantablack to be two-dimensional. IUPAC Name is Activated carbon high density skeleton. Other names are Multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), Vantablack S-VIS and Vantablack S-IR. It is insoluble in water. When light strikes Vantablack, instead of bouncing off, it becomes trapped and is continually deflected amo

Facebook changes its corporate branding to Meta - Techcrunch

Image credit - Facebook Well, it’s official. After 17 years of being called Facebook, the social networking parent company behind Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus has a new name. Facebook’s corporate entity is now Meta. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg announced the change at the company’s AR/VR-focused Connect event, sharing that the new title captured more of the company’s core ambition: to build the metaverse. “To reflect who we are and what we hope to build, I am proud to announce that starting today, our company is now Meta. Our mission remains the same — it’s still about bringing people together. Our apps and our brands — they’re not changing either,” Zuckerberg said. “From now on, we’re going to be metaverse-first, not Facebook-first.” The name change comes at a… convenient time for Facebook, which has seen a sustained backlash to its brand, particularly in recent weeks after a former employee leaked a trove of documents to the media and government bodies detailing the m

NVIDIA Tesla V100 - First Tensor Core GPU

8x NVIDIA Tesla V100 32GB Server As we all know NVIDIA processor are so famous now a days. It give a perfect gaming performance and people used it worldwide. The thing is that it is not only use in personal computer but also at data center, where so many super computer are present for providing services. So, NVIDIA Tesla V100 is a first tensor core GPU. It is especially built to focus on AI, High Performance Computing ( HPC ) and graphics. It is powered by NVIDIA Volta Architecture. It comes with configuration 16 and 32GB and have a performance up to 100 CPUs in single GPU. A single server node with V100 GPUs can replace 60 CPUs nodes. DATA CENTER GPUs Image © NVIDIA NVIDIA V100 for NVLINK Performance with NVIDIA GPU Boost for double precision is 7.8 teraflops and single precision is 15.7 teraflops. Deep learning performance boost is 125 teraflops. Interconnect bandwidth with bidirectional is 300 GB/s. It have memory capacity of 32/16 GB HBM2 with bandwidth 900GB/s. It consume 300
