What is a computer scientist, you may ask. Computing systems have become increasingly embedded in every layer of electronics ...

In 1960, a 23-year-old Soviet mathematician named Anatoly Karatsuba stunned the world of mathematics with a revolutionary discovery: a faster way to multiply large numbers. Known today as Karatsuba’s ...

The factoring algorithm is also very bit-efficient; a number n of p-bits can be used to factor numbers up to 2 n + 2. Errors also provide another potential advantage to p-bits.

ne July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing. It ...

Computer Scientists Find a Key Research Algorithm's Limits The most widely used technique for optimizing values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem.
