The word "algorithm" is ubiquitous these days. However, like many tech terms that get thrown around, its meaning isn't always clear to casual audiences. Since it seems like algorithms are everywhere ...

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 ...

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 for ...

Researchers have demonstrated a quantum speedup over the most efficient classical computer algorithm possible for what is believed to be the first time. The accomplishment was performed on an IBM ...

AVM stands for automated valuation model, a computer algorithm that uses available data to estimate a home’s value. Different ...
