Oracle-based quantum algorithms cannot use deep loops because quantum states exist only as mathematical amplitudes in Hilbert space with no physical substrate. Criticall ...

President Donald Trump has ordered all U.S. agencies to stop using Anthropic technology after the company’s unusually public ...

As universities increasingly adopt digital tools and automated analytics systems, attention often centers on these tools' gains in accuracy and efficiency. Far less visible, however, is another ...

Researchers from Chiba University have developed a lightweight peer-selection algorithm that significantly reduces data propagation delays without increasing resource usage on internet of things (IoT) ...

Space and time aren’t just woven into the background fabric of the universe. To theoretical computer scientists, time and space (also known as memory) are the two fundamental resources of computation.

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

The apartment industry’s use of algorithmic pricing tools to set rental rates has recently come under siege by several state and local legislators, and as of November 20, a broad coalition of ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

Dr. Shaw and Dr. Hilton teach software engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. For decades, computer science students have been taught a central skill: using computers to solve problems. In ...
