A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer scientist László Babai announced November 10 at a Combinatorics and Theoretical Computer Science seminar at the ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do so for some critical optimization tasks.

Quantum computers solve difficult problems efficiently using quantum gates and quantum algorithms. Shor's algorithm is an example of a quantum algorithm that is more efficient than classical ...

The results turn out to be significantly better than has previously been achieved with much larger devices. “We show that for four- to six-city Travelling Salesperson Problems, the algorithm finds the ...
