As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers ...

The intersection of evolutionary algorithms and data-driven optimisation is reshaping materials science by offering novel computational frameworks for designing and refining materials. Drawing ...

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 ...

This team effort converges expertise to leverage quantum computing for an important, practical outcome.”— Marco Cerezo, ...

In space engineering, electronic component layout has a very important impact on the centroid stability and heat dissipation of devices. However, the diversity of components, a variety of spatial ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a ...

The 30th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms awarded its 2021 Test-of-Time Award to Sorin Istrail, professor of computational and mathematical sciences and professor of computer science, and his ...
