One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve AI system breaks a 56-year-old mathematical record by discovering a more efficient matrix ...

A new research paper from a Google researcher slashed the estimated quantum resources needed to break RSA encryption, which ...

A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines ...

It’s “a breakthrough in quantum algorithms,” said Gil Kalai, a mathematician at Reichman University and a prominent skeptic of quantum computing. Reports of quantum algorithms get ...

A quantum algorithm, however, runs on a quantum computer, which uses quantum bits (or qubits). Unlike bits, qubits can represent 0 and 1 at the same time, due to a property called superposition.

Using this system, Microsoft and Atom Computing created 20 logical qubits made from 80 physical qubits and successfully ran the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm on it. This is a classic quantum ...

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.

"Understanding how noise affects performance is crucial as we strive for practical applications of quantum computing." This new algorithm addresses these complexities by leveraging the high photon ...
