One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and ...

Here’s the problem: Researchers have shown that no algorithm can attain both types of fairness. Meeting one fairness goal necessitates violating the other. It is as hopeless as pinning down both ...

Mathematicians have long sought to develop algorithms that can compare any two graphs. In practice, many ...

Now this algorithm knows a lot about us and has a better and more complete picture of us. This powerful “master algorithm” is at the heart of work postulated by Pedro Domingos, author of The ...

Quantum computing has long promised to speed up these algorithms. But Goswami and co say even the best quantum algorithms require a large number of qubits. “The quantum algorithm for encoding 9 and 10 ...

But algorithms can also have mental-health problems based on the way they are built. They can forget older things when they learn new information. Imagine learning a new co-worker’s name and ...

By applying a well-established quantum algorithm known as Grover’s algorithm to the number partitioning problem, they obtain a quadratic speedup compared to equivalent classical algorithms. The team ...
