Since the 1990s, evidence has been growing that quantum computers should be able to solve a range of particularly complex computational problems, with applications in everything from supply chain ...

A new computational study suggests the Great Pyramid of Giza was built using a sophisticated "Integrated Edge-Ramp" (IER) system, potentially solving a 4,500-year-old architectural enigma. This model ...

Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) provide a versatile framework for modelling complex decision-making tasks where a collection of variables must be allocated values that satisfy specific ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Say you want to send a private message, cast a secret vote, or sign a document securely. If you do any of these tasks on a computer, you ...

The program will foster “collaboration among faculty from different disciplines,” according to Guarini dean Jon Kull ’88.

While improvements in computer hardware and high performance computing frameworks continue to provide computational speed increases, efficient mathematical algorithms and skillful coding are essential ...

This chapter highlights some of the most prominent research challenges from theoretical/computational chemistry that appear to be amenable to attack with the help of ...

They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because those cohabiting birds are the protagonists of a deceptively ...

We are clearly on the verge of a revolution in medicine—one in which the sequence of As, Ts, Gs, and Cs is as much a part of a patient’s phenotypic profile as are the sounds of the heart or were the ...
