In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

Sorting algorithm is one of the most popular foundation algorithms that are used trillions of times on almost every day. But like many algorithms, it has reached a stage whereby human are struggling ...

Why the challenge of truly representative democracy is so complex. Moon Duchin, who leads the University of Chicago’s Data and Democracy Research Initiative, explores how math can help solve ...

They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm. "It has been suggested that the universe could be simulated. If ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Abstract: Discrete time-variant equation systems represent a typical and complex problem across various disciplines. With the increasing complexity of systems in various fields, traditional methods ...

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 the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain ...
