Dijkstra's algorithm has long been the quickest way of finding the shortest possible paths in a network, but researchers have ...

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 ...

Philip Ball dives into the challenges in developing quantum computing, and building up investments and users for the tech ...

IBM said on Friday it is able to run a key quantum computing algorithm on commonly available chips from Advanced Micro Devices, in a step toward commercializing super-powerful computers. The U.S.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Artificial intelligence has transformed how companies process data and make decisions—but Silicon Valley’s biggest players are already chasing what could be the next technological breakthrough: ...

Jay Gambetta, the IBM vice president running the firm's quantum efforts, said the work showed that IBM's algorithm not only works in the real world, but can operate on a readily available AMD chip ...

IBM’s success in running quantum error correction on standard AMD chips marks a pivotal moment — proving that practical ...

IBM is gaining traction in the quantum computing segment and is positioned to benefit from a first-mover advantage following ...
