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

Simple algorithms have been used for computer-based decision making for decades. Today, algorithms help ease otherwise-complicated processes all the time, whether we know it or not.

When such computers become available, the team’s time-reversal algorithm could be used to test them, Andrey V. Lebedev, a physicist at ETH Zurich in Switzerland and an author on the paper, said ...

This is Yao’s Millionaire Problem, devised by the computer scientist Andrew Yao in 1982. One potential solution is a one-time computer program. This program allows Alice and Bob to enter… ...

A new study shows that quantum technology will catch up with today’s encryption standards much sooner than expected. That should worry anybody who needs to store data securely for 25 years or so.
