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 many ...

The longest common subsequence (LCS) problem, a long‐standing challenge in computer science and bioinformatics, seeks to identify the maximum sequence of characters shared by multiple strings while ...

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 ...

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 identifying a ...

One major issue facing artificial intelligence is the interaction between a computer's memory and its processing capabilities ...

Many experts believe that once quantum computers are big enough and reliable enough to solve useful problems, the most common deployment architecture will be to have them serve as accelerators for ...
