A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

A new "geometry‑based" quantum swap gate makes neutral‑atom computers far less sensitive to laser noise.

We’re not talking about more powerful computers—we're talking about different ones," says the scientist, who sees a hybrid ...

For Kathy Tran, choosing to major in computer science (CS) at Georgia Tech was never about narrowing her interests. Drawn to both computing and film, she sought flexibility to explore technical ...

I’ve been flying multispectral missions for a few years now, and the biggest surprise of these systems is how much processing ...

With growing focus on the existential threat quantum computing poses to some of the most crucial and widely used forms of encryption, cryptography engineer Filippo Valsorda wants to make one thing ...

Government-funded academic research on parallel computing, stream processing, real-time shading languages, and programmable graphics processing units (GPUs) directly led to the development of GPU ...

While the billion-dollar question is about when quantum computing will become commercially viable, one of the problems being tackled at the moment is how to make the ...

Researchers from quantum computing companies Quanscient Oy and Haiqu Inc. today announced that they have developed a new quantum computing algorithm designed to make computational fluid dynamics ...

As quantum computers continue to advance, identifying problems they can solve faster than the world’s best conventional computers is becoming increasingly important – but it turns out that a key task ...

As price-setting by computer algorithm becomes increasingly prevalent, states are stepping in to address transparency and fairness concerns that federal legislation has yet to comprehensively tackle.
