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 ...

Students partnered with local newsrooms to solve real reporting problems and learned to start with the need, not the ...

Newly available videos and existing footage synchronized and assessed by The Times provide a frame-by-frame look at how an ICE officer ended up shooting and killing a motorist in Minneapolis. By The ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the new arms race and the centerpiece of defense modernization efforts across multiple countries, including the United States. Yet, despite the surge in AI investments, ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Abstract: Task assignment and path planning are crucial links in the task execution of uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) cluster, especially in high-dimensional complex scenarios, the calculation ...

In a standard paper assignment setting, a set $\mathcal{P}$ of $n^{(p)}$ papers needs to be assigned to a set $\mathcal{R}$ of $n^{(r)}$ reviewers. To ensure each ...

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 ...
