Photonic microchips can process data at extremely high speeds and are embedded in a wide variety of today's technologies.

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Northeastern University, Google ...

A study describes a new computer algorithm which can be applied to Earth System Models to drastically reduce the time needed to prepare these in order to make accurate predictions of future climate ...

Before computers existed, a radical idea emerged: what if a machine's intelligence lived not in its gears, but in its ...

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 mathematical ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...
