101 quantum chemistry, how to start — Among the potential uses of optic hardware and quantum computing, there is chemical simulation. Being exponentially faster than their classical counterparts, quantum computing gives hope about drug development and other chemical processes. This article is not for experienced quantum researchers. It is an introduction to motivate boys and girls to…

Useful things beyond the two hypes — A recent controversial paper tried to define a new formalism for deep learning in terms of quantum fields. Indeed, qubits are described naively as a state between zero and one, and each node of a neural network, similarly is a value between zero and one meaning probability or something alike…

More Machine learning and less chunky hardware — We all have seen this year the video on YouTube with Elon Musk the alive pig the brain implant connected to a computer. One of the speculations was that “it will create super-cognition” (whatever that means). …

Current state-of-art tools putting together quantum physics and artificial intelligence Data science and machine learning are definitely among the buzz words nowadays. At startup competitions and conferences I have seen too much. AI-trained beer draft to give you the perfect taste, plastic bag with sensor training IoT systems based on…

useful links to start in the South Generally, warm places are suitable for tourism but not innovation. When you think about startups you do not think Greece, southern Italy or Spain. Those are places were to on vacation, and people from there tend to leave for northern Europe, US and…

giving my 2 cents Data-science is everywhere maybe even too much. It is an interdisciplinary area that combines knowledge from statistics, computer science, mathematics, and engineering. Many disruptive and innovative technologies are rooted in data-science, and indeed it is believed they raise people’s quality of life while also enhancing the…

From “SMILES” to 3D — Smiles in Chemistry… no, we are not going to talk about the one in the pictures above. Those smiles generally happen rarely in labs or in silico simulations due to failed experiments :-) . We are going to talk about something related to computational chemistry. Briefly, computational chemistry is a…

Fantasy or weird sustainability? “…the inability to image a world in which things are different is evidence only of poor imagination, not of the impossibility to change…” Rutger Bregman What if, people confuse conformism with realism, and seemingly crazy ideas work? Last year Thomas Smith , founder of Gado Images…

moral life from the well-known text of David Brooks to dolphins and turtles If you have been into coaching or self-development or other related trends, you probably heard the sentence “find your purpose” or “live with purpose“. Even without this, I would say that everyone I have met in my life wanted a life with meaning. Whatever this could be. In some cases…
