A new algorithm can further exploit the twin challenges of information loss and translation to mimic a quantum computer with far fewer resources than previously ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Algorithms are the building blocks that, when layered together, form the cryptographic fortress ...

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 ...

Scientists think they've created the first practical cryptographic algorithm that could protect data and communications from quantum computers. However, other experts in the field remain skeptical, ...

When X's engineering team published the code that powers the platform's "for you" algorithm last month, Elon Musk said the ...

Many experts believe that once quantum computers are big enough and reliable enough to solve useful problems, the most common deployment architecture will be to have them serve as accelerators for ...

Google has been challenged by an algorithm that could solve a problem faster than its Sycamore quantum computer, which it used in 2019 to claim the first example of “quantum supremacy” – the point at ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...
