Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to ...

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 ...

Researchers introduce a group-driven initialization that fuses search history with graph modularity, boosting ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

New Research from Multiverse Computing Shows How Limited-Qubit Devices Can Find Solutions to Complex Mathematical Problems with Remarkable Efficiency We can transform today’s NISQ devices into ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

Almost weekly a friend or an acquaintance asks me, “I want to learn to code; which language should I start with?” More or less bi-weekly I get a DM on LinkedIn starting with, “My son should start ...

In 1994, a mathematician figured out how to make a quantum computer do something that no ordinary classical computer could. The work revealed that, in principle, a machine based on the rules of ...

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Businesses often follow a define-plan-execute method of problem solving: spend time up front rigorously defining a problem, develop a ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...
