So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

IonQ’s move comes amid a broader wave of momentum in the quantum industry, where stocks like IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave have ...

The trained algorithm could distinguish cases where transformations were time-reversal symmetric, something that appears to be very difficult or impossible with the classical system.

Compared to other approaches, the team's algorithm can process input from nearly 50 times as many Pauli strings, or vertices, and more than 2,400 times as many relationships, or edges.

The algorithm might inspire new work on the classical side, according to Ewin Tang, a computer scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, who came to prominence as a teenager by creating ...

For years, quantum computing’s news cycle was dominated by headlines about record-setting systems. Researchers at Google and IBM have had spats over who achieved what—and whether it was worth ...

Another area of attack could be Grover’s algorithm, which can exponentially speed up mining with a large enough quantum computer — though it’s probable that ASICs, the specialized classical ...

The problem with the UVA algorithm, however, is that it can’t be called into action just yet — because the computer that’s optimally equipped to run it doesn’t yet exist.

Computer algorithms are used to make decisions in a range of settings, from courtrooms to schools to online shopping sites. The programs sort through huge amounts of data in search of useful ...

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 ...
