A 20-year-old algorithm that demonstrated the benefit of using quantum mechanics to solve certain problems has finally been run on a quantum computer. Simon’s algorithm, proposed by computer scientist ...

A new technique breaks Dijkstra's 70-year-old record: it finds routes faster in huge networks, changing graph theory forever.

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 ...

Last year, a group of German computer scientists made waves by demonstrating a new computer algorithm that could transform any digital still image into artwork mimicking the painterly styles of ...

One major issue facing artificial intelligence is the interaction between a computer's memory and its processing capabilities ...

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have achieved a breakthrough in quantum noise characterization in ...

A NEW breed of art has evolved. A computer program has been built that creates digital artworks using algorithms that mimic natural selection. Yasuhiro Suzuki at Nagoya University in Japan and ...
