Quantum computers get a lot of people excited because they solve problems in a manner that’s fundamentally different from existing hardware. A certain class of mathematical problems, called ...

Thousands of notoriously difficult problems in computer science are actually the same problem in disguise If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award-winning journalism by ...

NP-complete problems, including optimal routing, scheduling and network design, are foundational to essential tasks across various industries. However, they actually pose challenges for conventional ...

Quick verification A quantum computer has been shown to be faster than a classical one at verifying the solution to an NP-complete problem when provided with only a ...

They have a mathematical, analog “solver” that can potentially find the best solution to NP-hard problems. NP-hardness is a theory of computational complexity, with problems that are famous for their ...

Researchers from Kazakhstan found a possible solution to the problem of equality of P and NP classes, the second of the seven "millennium problems", they announced in a press meeting held on Thursday ...

Light propagates in a three-dimensional photonic circuit to solve the subset sum problem. The image of the reconfigurable photonic processor is based on the research presented. As technology advances, ...

IF YOU have ever struggled to complete classic Nintendo games, don’t feel bad – they are officially difficult. An analysis of the computational complexity of video games, including those in the Mario ...

We need to combine DNA based computing and Quantum computing. With that we may actually know if Schrodinger's cat is dead or alive. Since there's been no mathematical breakthrough, the amount of ...
