From powering search engines to securing data and optimizing networks, algorithms underpin nearly every aspect of modern technology. Understanding how efficiently they can solve problems — and where ...

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 ...

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption ...

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 ...

Computational scientist and mathematician Avi Wigderson of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton has won the 2023 A.M. Turing Award. The prize, which is given annually by the Association ...

The new quantum computing algorithm, called "Quantum Echoes," is the first that can be independently verified by running it on another quantum computer. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

On one hand, there are dog people, and on the other, there are bird people. I identify as one of the latter. Not the kind of bird-man who celebrates secret personal victories allotted only to those ...

Computer Scientists are the broad group of individuals who utilize their skills to perform, develop, and improve computation. Computation is all around us: On our laptops, in our phones, running web ...
