Like the rest of its Big Tech cadre, Google has spent lavishly on developing generative AI models. Google's AI can clean up your text messages and summarize the web, but the company is constantly ...

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.

What if the next new mathematical discovery didn’t come from a human mind, but from an AI? Imagine a machine not just crunching numbers but proposing original solutions to problems that have baffled ...

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 ...

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 devs stay true to their word, immediately roll out a patch full of fixes after the studio's "Super Earth sanctioned vacation," but one major issue still remains ...

KARLSRUHE, Germany and COLLEGE PARK, Md.– Kipu Quantum and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) announced what they said is a record achievement: the successful solution of “the most complex known protein folding ...

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 ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

The rise of AI, graphic processing, combinatorial optimization and other data-intensive applications has resulted in data-processing bottlenecks, as ever greater amounts of data must be shuttled back ...
