A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

Learn how to solve problems using linear programming. A linear programming problem involves finding the maximum or minimum ...

Learn how to solve problems using linear programming. A linear programming problem involves finding the maximum or minimum value of an equation, called the objective functions, subject to a system of ...

Although the potential applications of quantum computing are widespread, a new feasibility study suggests quantum computers ...

Those that solve artificially simplified problems where quantum advantage is meaningless. Those that provide no genuine quantum advantage when all costs are properly accounted for. This critique is ...

Abstract: Identifying positive influence dominating set (PIDS) with the smallest cardinality can produce positive effect with the minimal cost on a social network. The purpose of this article is to ...

We study the problem of estimating the size of a maximum matching in sublinear time. The problem has been studied extensively in the literature and various algorithms and lower bounds are known for it ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

If you want to accentuate the importance of a problem, it seems sensible to explain how prevalent it is. Lots of people are at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Lots of women carry a gene that makes them ...
