A quantum version of a computer algorithm widely used in finance, engineering and scientific modelling shows promising signs of operating much faster than existing methods. Experts say there are many ...

The longest common subsequence (LCS) problem, a long‐standing challenge in computer science and bioinformatics, seeks to identify the maximum sequence of characters shared by multiple strings while ...

Systems controlled by next-generation computing algorithms could give rise to better and more efficient machine learning products, a new study suggests. Systems controlled by next-generation computing ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

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 ...

Although quantum computing is a nascent field, there are plenty of key moments that defined it over the last few decades as scientists strive to create machines that can solve impossible problems.
