Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new discrete StarFish Optimization Algorithm (D-SFOA) to solve a complex discrete Symmetric Travelling Salesman Problem (STSP). The discrete SFOA algorithm is ...

Abstract: Discrete time-variant equation systems represent a typical and complex problem across various disciplines. With the increasing complexity of systems in various fields, traditional methods ...

Sampling from probability distributions with known density functions (up to normalization) is a fundamental challenge across various scientific domains. From Bayesian uncertainty quantification to ...

So here you are, taking a course on data structures and algorithms. But what is a “data structure”? What is an “algorithm”? The textbook gives these definitions: “An algorithm is a recipe for ...

Ms. Angwin is a contributing Opinion writer and an investigative journalist. Social media can feel like a giant newsstand, with more choices than any newsstand ever. It contains news not only from ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...
