“Imagine a computation that produces a new bit of information in every step, based on the bits that it has computed so far. Over t steps of time, it may generate up to t new bits of information in ...

With the Fifth Industrial Revolution upon us, India is building the full AI stack. It will make AI work at scale but rooted ...

High-resolution scans of a pre-dynastic granite vase reveal micrometer-level precision that researchers say is nearly impossible to achieve with primitive hand tools. A mathematician and cryptographer ...

Recent survey delivers the first systematic benchmark of TSP solvers spanning end-to-end deep learners, hybrid methods and ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

This repository contains comprehensive implementations of algorithms from the classic textbook "Fundamentals of Computer Algorithms" (Second Edition) by Ellis Horowitz, Sartaj Sahni, and Sanguthevar ...

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

As price-setting by computer algorithm becomes increasingly prevalent, states are stepping in to address transparency and fairness concerns that federal legislation has yet to comprehensively tackle.

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 ...

We’re racing towards a future in which devices will be able to read our thoughts. You see signs of it everywhere, from brain-computer interfaces to algorithms that detect emotions from facial scans.

With the help of a computer algorithm, Massachusetts’ biggest health insurer says it will scrutinize doctors who frequently bill it for the most expensive patient visits. It will then unilaterally cut ...
