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 ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

A popular cosmological theory holds that the cosmos runs on quantum codes. So how hard could it be to tweak the supreme algorithm? By Dennis Overbye If you could change the laws of nature, what would ...

Researchers adapt model predictive control from engineering to epidemic response, balancing health and economic costs under ...

It would be a waste of seconds and cents to outsource needless back-and-forth with a professional validation service to catch common typos. Because Luhn’s algorithm requires so little processing power ...

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data ...
