The amount of time it takes for an algorithm to solve a polynomial ... 4x 2 + x - 6y is a three-term polynomial. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires permission.

A key area within this field is the study of polynomial time algorithms, which are algorithms that can solve problems in a time that is a polynomial function of the size of the input. Recent ...

Here we develop a polynomial time algorithm that provably finds the ground state of any 1D quantum system described by a gapped local Hamiltonian with constant ground-state energy. The algorithm ...

Computer scientists are abuzz over a fast new algorithm for solving one of the central problems in the field. (January 15, 2017, update: On January 4, Babai retracted his claim that the new algorithm ...
