A Rochester Institute of Technology Ph.D. student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, a computing and information ...

A team of physicists from the University at Buffalo has developed a user-friendly method that allows researchers to solve complex quantum problems, once thought to require massive supercomputers, on ...

One question in computer science has stood above the rest for decades, resisting every attempt to settle it despite its ...

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 ...

The errors that quantum computers make are holding the technology back. But recent progress in quantum error correction has excited many researchers ...

Quantum computers can now solve problems with real-world applications faster than any ordinary computer, suggesting they could be commercially viable, say researchers at quantum computing firm D-Wave.

When a commercial quantum computer will surpass classical machines for real-world optimization is unknown, but probabilistic p-computers with p-bits offer a practical interim path. (Nanowerk News) It ...

It’s no secret that computers can smoke humans at chess. And now, as if to further mock our mere organic forms, scientists say they’ve created a computer made out of DNA that can play the board game — ...
