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.

Many aspects of modern applied research rely on a crucial algorithm called gradient descent. This is a procedure generally used for finding the largest or smallest values of a particular ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

A research team led by SUTD proposes a quantum-enhanced framework for processing complex topological signals that could one ...

Tohoku University. "New algorithm optimizes quantum computing problem-solving." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 10 April 2019. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2019 / 04 / 190410095927.htm>.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Editor’s Note: This article is part of an AspenCore Network Special Project on quantum computing that aims to provide you with a starting point for assessing this emerging technology and its potential ...
