  2. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

    Just as the class P is defined in terms of polynomial running time, the class EXPTIME is the set of all decision problems that have exponential running time. In other words, any problem in EXPTIME is solvable by a deterministic Turing machine in O (2 p ( n ) ) time, where p ( n ) is a polynomial function of n .

  3. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

    Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and temperature, and their relation to energy, entropy, and the physical properties of matter and radiation.

  4. Boltzmann brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain

    One class of solutions to the Boltzmann brain problem makes use of differing approaches to the measure problem in cosmology: in infinite multiverse theories, the ratio of normal observers to Boltzmann brains depends on how infinite limits are taken. Measures might be chosen to avoid appreciable fractions of Boltzmann brains.

  5. International Physics Olympiad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Physics_Olympiad

    There the statutes and the syllabus [8] were officially accepted by the International Board, which consists of the delegation heads from all participating countries. [11] The team size was finally set to five students in 1971, and in 1976 the number of experimental problems was set to one or two, while there are three theoretical problems in ...

  6. Quantum annealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_annealing

    There are many open questions regarding quantum speedup. The ETH reference in the previous section is just for one class of benchmark problems. Potentially there may be other classes of problems where quantum speedup might occur. Researchers at Google, LANL, USC, Texas A&M, and D-Wave are working to find such problem classes. [34]

  7. United States Physics Olympiad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Physics_Olympiad

    The medal system is modeled on that of the International Physics Olympiad: approximately the top 10–12% scorers in the USAPhO will receive gold medals, the next 14–16% receive silver medals, the next 19–21% receive bronze medals and the next 24–26% receive honorable mentions.

  9. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier-transform_infrared...

    Fourier transform spectroscopy is a less intuitive way to obtain the same information. Rather than shining a monochromatic beam of light (a beam composed of only a single wavelength) at the sample, this technique shines a beam containing many frequencies of light at once and measures how much of that beam is absorbed by the sample. Next, the ...
