Mashable’s series Algorithms explores the mysterious lines of code that increasingly control our lives — and our futures. “The Algorithm” is impenetrable. It’s mysterious, it’s all-knowing, it’s ...

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data ...

EPFL Professor Giuseppe Carleo and a graduate student from Columbia University named Matija Medvidović have found a way to execute a complex quantum computing algorithm on a traditional computer.

Instead of waiting for fully mature quantum computers to emerge, researchers have developed hybrid classical/quantum algorithms to extract the most performance -- and potentially quantum advantage -- ...

Many aspects of modern applied research rely on a crucial algorithm called gradient descent. This is a procedure generally used for finding the largest or smallest values of a particular mathematical ...

A new algorithm that fast forwards simulations could bring greater use ability to current and near-term quantum computers, opening the way for applications to run past strict time limits that hamper ...

A device made from superconducting qubits could prove a powerful technology for enabling practical quantum computing or more ...

Machine learning is all about getting computers to “understand” new concepts, but it’s still a pretty inefficient process, often requiring hundreds of examples for training. That may soon change, ...

Quantum researchers have created a new algorithm that can reduce noise in qubits while they are working, and it does this in ...
