Pew Research Center’s 2026 political typology divides the public into nine groups. The assignment of individuals to one of ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the location of the hospital's department to minimize the total distance traveled by patients can be formulated as a Quadratic assignment problem (QAP), one of the ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper we compare track data association purity, accuracy, and timing on a simple, idealized model tracking problem for two data association methods: Global Nearest Neighbor (GNN) and ...
