A new algorithm can further exploit the twin challenges of information loss and translation to mimic a quantum computer with far fewer resources than previously ...

Many experts believe that once quantum computers are big enough and reliable enough to solve useful problems, the most common deployment architecture will be to have them serve as accelerators for ...

Computer scientists at Caltech have designed DNA molecules that can carry out reprogrammable computations, for the first time creating so-called algorithmic self-assembly in which the same "hardware" ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Algorithms are the building blocks that, when layered together, form the cryptographic fortress ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

Narrator: We all live with computers, but getting the most out of them, getting them to dowhat you need, can be kind of difficult. But if you can understand how they processthings, a computer can be ...

If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a slippery concept. Perhaps one day there’s an accident or road closure ...

Discover how the Luhn Algorithm verifies credit card accuracy, supports secure transactions, and helps prevent errors in inputting Social Security numbers.

We all live with computers…but getting the most out of them… getting them to do what you need…can be kind of difficult. But if you can understand how they process things, a computer can be the most ...
