Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by ...

Due to their error-prone hardware, quantum computers have not yet found practical use. One promising solution is quantum error correction: special methods are used to find and correct errors in the ...

Quantum computers could revolutionize everything from drug discovery to business analytics—but their incredible power also ...

How the Cyberspace Administration of China inadvertently made a guide to the country’s homegrown AI revolution.

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

A few years back, Google made waves when it claimed that some of its hardware had achieved quantum supremacy, performing operations that would be effectively impossible to simulate on a classical ...

Children often surprise us with their natural problem-solving skills. A new study shows that they can discover efficient algorithms on their own. Researchers Huiwen Alex Yang, Bill D. Thompson, and ...
