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 ...

Computer scientists know which speed category most computing questions fall into, but not all. “Most are either the easiest or the hardest [kind of question], but there are still several exceptions ...

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

A quantum version of a computer algorithm widely used in finance, engineering and scientific modelling shows promising signs of operating much faster than existing methods. Experts say there are ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...
