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 ...

Toward a code-breaking quantum computer Date: August 23, 2024 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Building on a landmark algorithm, researchers propose a way to make a smaller ...

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption ...

Three computer scientists have disproved a long-standing conjecture about a fundamental problem involving imperfect information.

Heaps and Bounds The story of this iconic path-finding algorithm began with a detour. In 1956, the 26-year-old Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra wanted to write a program that would show off ...

Technology Quantum twist on common computer algorithm promises useful speed boost Quantum computers have been shown to solve some problems faster than ordinary computers, but so far all these ...

Brush up your résumé with a computer algorithm. Seriously, it could pay off. Artificial Intelligence is hot now. So are questions about the strength of the job market By Andrew Keshner ...

Bell Labs computer scientist Lov Grover proposed a quantum algorithm for unstructured search, which refers to looking for information in databases with no obvious system of organization.

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...
