Algorithms allow us to make rational decisions in an organized manner, preventing us from burdening our minds with low-quality, on-the fly decision making. Everybody can do with a bit of computer ...

There is no way to do this on a classical computer. However, you can translate this Hamiltonian into a quantum circuit.” [Related: IBM’s latest quantum chip breaks the elusive 100-qubit barrier] ...

What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

Christopher Kanan is building algorithms that can continuously learn over time — the way we do.

Known today as Karatsuba’s Algorithm, this breakthrough challenged the long-held belief that multiplying two n-digit numbers required n² steps.

Every problem in P is also in PSPACE, because fast algorithms just don’t have enough time to fill up much space in a computer’s memory.

Computer algorithms infer gender, race and ethnicity. Here’s how to avoid their pitfalls Demographic-prediction algorithms have various challenges, following best practices can minimize the harms.
