Quantum computers solve difficult problems efficiently using quantum gates and quantum algorithms. Shor's algorithm is an example of a quantum algorithm that is more efficient than classical ...

Mathematical proofs based on a technique called diagonalization can be relentlessly contrarian, but they help reveal the limits of algorithms.

This New Algorithm Could Turbocharge How We Solve Cold Cases With DNA Forensic genetic genealogy is what allowed investigators to crack the Golden State Killer case.

To solve this problem would require developing an algorithm that finds an answer in smart way, rather than just having a computer grind through all the options—and that is the type of algorithm ...

To date, it has only been possible to create individual algorithms able to master a single discipline — for example, IBM's Deep Blue beat the human world champion at chess but was not able to do ...
