Understanding quantum computing, from qubits science and tech breakthroughs to future quantum applications, and discovering how close we are to real-world use cases ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

Quantum computing threatens to upend the cryptography that secures bitcoin and all blockchain-based digital assets, such as ...

Artificial intelligence has transformed how companies process data and make decisions—but Silicon Valley’s biggest players are already chasing what could be the next technological breakthrough: ...

Google DeepMind today pulled the curtain back on AlphaEvolve, an artificial-intelligence agent that can invent brand-new computer algorithms — then put them straight to work inside the company's vast ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and 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 ...

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 ...

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

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 slippery concept. Perhaps one day there’s an accident or road closure ...

In a breakthrough that brings to mind Lucky Luke—the man who shoots faster than his shadow—Rasmus Kyng and his team have developed a superfast algorithm that looks set to transform an entire field of ...
