Those that solve artificially simplified problems where quantum advantage is meaningless. Those that provide no genuine quantum advantage when all costs are properly accounted for. This critique is ...

Abstract: Identifying positive influence dominating set (PIDS) with the smallest cardinality can produce positive effect with the minimal cost on a social network. The purpose of this article is to ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

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 ...

We study the problem of estimating the size of a maximum matching in sublinear time. The problem has been studied extensively in the literature and various algorithms and lower bounds are known for it ...

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 ...

Abstract: In applied and numerical algebraic geometry, many problems are reduced to computing an approximation to a real algebraic curve. In order to elevate the results of such a computation to the ...

Recent advancements in quantum computing and quantum-inspired algorithms have sparked renewed interest in binary optimization. These hardware and software innovations promise to revolutionize solution ...
