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 ...

Scientists think they've created the first practical cryptographic algorithm that could protect data and communications from quantum computers. However, other experts in the field remain skeptical, ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

Systems controlled by next-generation computing algorithms could give rise to better and more efficient machine learning products, a new study suggests. Systems controlled by next-generation computing ...

A new algorithm can further exploit the twin challenges of information loss and translation to mimic a quantum computer with far fewer resources than previously ...

Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor's algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers—a seemingly ...

New Research from Multiverse Computing Shows How Limited-Qubit Devices Can Find Solutions to Complex Mathematical Problems with Remarkable Efficiency We can transform today’s NISQ devices into ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...
