The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

Quantum computing has entered a bit of an awkward period. There have been clear demonstrations that we can successfully run quantum algorithms, but the qubit counts ...

There’s an old saying: When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Sometimes referred to as “the law of the instrument,” that hammer-and-nail idea is a common pitfall in ...

Research paper by Bjørnar Luteberget and Giorgio Sartor wins 2024 FICO® Xpress Best Paper Award; the algorithm is now in FICO® Xpress Solver “When solving a very large computational problem, ...

A quantum computer can solve optimization problems faster than classical supercomputers, a process known as “quantum advantage” and demonstrated by a USC researcher in a paper recently published in ...

For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but what if this is the wrong strategy altogether? This is because some problems defeat computers, not because they are ...

LightSolver, creator of a new laser-based computing paradigm, announced a breakthrough in quantum-inspired high-performance computing. Its LPU100 system unleashes the power of 100 lasers to solve the ...

Quantum computing has occupied a peculiar place in the policy imagination: perpetually imminent, strategically important, and operationally vague. It has been featured in national strategies and ...
