Proteins are among the most studied molecules in biology, yet new research from the University of Göttingen shows they can ...

Table 1 Some computational complexity classes of importance in quantum computation Grover’s algorithm speeds up the naive classical algorithm for unstructured search. Quantum algorithms can also ...

Here no such fast algorithm exists — not unless you use a quantum computer. Therefore computer scientists believe that the two problems are in different complexity classes. Many different complexity ...

The most widely used algorithm is slow and not all that clever ... The result was striking because edit distance, while theoretically an easy problem in the complexity class P, would take perhaps ...
