Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Philips Hue’s SpatialAware scans your room to place scenes naturally, making lighting feel designed and supercharging nature ...

Abstract: The random Kaczmarz (RK) algorithm is an iterative method to solve overdetermined linear systems and serves as a representative example of row action methods. In this paper, we propose a ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Ever wondered how social media platforms decide how to fill our feeds? They use algorithms, of course, but how do these algorithms work? A series of corporate leaks over the past few years provides a ...

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery often receive red-cell transfusions, along with the associated risks and costs. Early intraoperative normovolemic hemodilution (i.e., acute normovolemic ...

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

High-quality random number generators are required for various applications such as cryptography, secure communications, Monte Carlo simulations, and randomized algorithms. Existing pseudorandom ...

The second you start watching a video on YouTube, the site begins building an algorithm of your likes. While the goal of that is to show you content you want to see, it means you'll miss out on so ...
