Quantum computing has entered a bit of an awkward period. There have been clear demonstrations that we can successfully run quantum algorithms, but the qubit counts ...

Each of the six grand challenge areas is discussed in turn in this chapter. For the most part, these discussions include a description of the grand challenge area; research objectives over the short ...

In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, a new approach has emerged for solving combinatorial optimization problems, which involves finding the most efficient solution among many possible ...

It’s one thing to sit in a computer science class all semester and learn about programming and problem-solving. But it’s quite another to find yourself knee-deep in creating an app designed to ...

Researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tokyo University of Science in Japan have developed what “a novel approach” to combinatorial optimisation problems (COPs). COPs are ...

Collaborative, creative, and fast-paced, WildHacks is Northwestern’s largest hackathon. The annual coding-based competition is designed for all students to learn and broaden their programming skills.

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Silicon Valley has created the impression of the archetypal technology company as founded by smart, young guns in a garage who tinker around to find a product that can make them, and their investors, ...
