Ultimately, the new approach works because of how it encodes information. Classical computers use bits, which can take one of ...

The new technique is basic—instead of using complex floating-point multiplication (FPM), the method uses integer addition. Apps use FPM to handle extremely large or small numbers, allowing ...

Simple algorithms have been used for computer-based decision making for ... homeowner-submitted details such as the addition of a bathroom, and pictures a house. As Zillow’s case shows, however ...

with integer addition. The new method, called Linear-Complexity Multiplication (L-Mul), comes close to the results of FPM while using the simpler algorithm. But despite that, it’s still able to ...

Scientists and cryptographers have known for two decades that a factorization method known as Shor’s algorithm makes it theoretically possible for a quantum computer with sufficient resources to ...
