Smart Contracts Software Metrics: a First Study

Smart contracts (SC) are software codes which reside and run over a blockchain. The code can be written in different languages with the common purpose of implementing various kinds of transactions onto the hosting blockchain, They are ruled by the blockchain infrastructure and work in order to satisfy conditions typical of traditional contracts. The software code must satisfy constrains strongl...

Quantum Computers

We analyse dissipation in quantum computation and its destructive impact on eeciency of quantum algorithms. We discuss relations between decoherence and computational complexity and show that quantum factorisation algorithm must be modiied in order to be regarded as eecient and realistic. Our model od decoherence is quite general and incorporates reservoirs with a large coherence length.

Quantum Computers

This research paper gives an overview of quantum computers – description of their operation, differences between quantum and silicon computers, major construction problems of a quantum computer and many other basic aspects. No special scientific knowledge is necessary for the reader. Introduction to Quantum Computers Around 2030 computers might not have any transistors and chips. Think of a com...
