A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

Scientists successfully borrow concepts from string theory to explain the network architecture of branching biological systems like neurons ...

Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

We walk through an optimization problem step by step, clearly explaining how to identify variables, set up the correct function, apply derivatives, and find maximum or minimum values. Each step is ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

A team of researchers at Queen's University has developed a powerful new kind of computing machine that uses light to take on ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers ...

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...

Cutting SaaS licenses may save money fast, but without clear ownership and process, you’ll just trade spend for chaos.
