Algorithms using computers first rose to prominence in the mid-20th century, when the military began writing formulas for, say, determining where to aim a missile at a moving object.

Algorithms are the building blocks that, when layered together, form the cryptographic fortress that keeps out hackers. As quantum computers gain ascendancy, these bricks must change to keep our ...

A new algorithm that fast forwards simulations could bring greater use ability to current and near-term quantum computers, opening the way for applications to run past strict time limits that ...

But Anatoly Karatsuba defied the odds, providing a breakthrough with what would come to be known as Karatsuba's Algorithm,a faster, more efficient way to multiply large numbers that would ...

Machine learning is all about getting computers to "understand" new concepts, but it's still a pretty inefficient process, often requiring hundreds of examples for training. That may soon change ...

Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor's algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers—a seemingly ...

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

The findings, published in IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, present a way to protect sensitive videos from rare but extremely powerful computers.
