Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data ...

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

Discover how 2024’s breakthroughs in AI and quantum computing are redefining technology with new algorithms and mathematical frameworks.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to ...

LaV's creators claim it's the first practical algorithm that can replace current-day encryption as the industry inches closer to creating a large-scale quantum computer.

The findings, published in IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, present a way to protect sensitive videos from rare but extremely powerful computers.

Quantum researchers have deployed a new algorithm to manage noise in qubits in real time. The method can be applied to a wide ...

Similarly, in computer science, there are very simple-to-define problems with relatively simple algorithms, where we don’t know under what conditions they will work.
