Algorithms allow us to make rational decisions in an organized manner, preventing us from burdening our minds with low-quality, on-the fly decision making. Everybody can do with a bit of computer ...

Instead, Karatsuba showed it could be done in just O (n^1.58), a revelation that would pave the way for faster computing, cryptography, and algorithm design.

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum computers we have now are ...

Computer algorithms infer gender, race and ethnicity. Here’s how to avoid their pitfalls Demographic-prediction algorithms have various challenges, following best practices can minimize the harms.

What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...

Every problem in P is also in PSPACE, because fast algorithms just don’t have enough time to fill up much space in a computer’s memory.

Christopher Kanan is building algorithms that can continuously learn over time — the way we do.

There is no way to do this on a classical computer. However, you can translate this Hamiltonian into a quantum circuit.” [Related: IBM’s latest quantum chip breaks the elusive 100-qubit barrier] ...
