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 ...

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 ...

What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

But the really important thing in the UK’s exams debacle wasn't the imposition of an algorithm. It was the decision made by those creating the algorithm to protect the 'integrity of the qualification' ...

The formula used to determine A-level results did not adhere to ethical principles, write a group of academics, while Dr John Elsom says the fiasco illustrates the government’s misuse of algorithms.
