Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

A new algorithm enables smartwatch fitness trackers to more accurately monitor energy expenditure of people with obesity ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

Discover how Bitcoin.ℏ uses SHA‑384 cryptography to defend against quantum threats with a forward-thinking, post-quantum ...

Qubits, the quantum equivalent, can take on multiple values, because of the vagaries of quantum mechanics. But even qubits, once measured, can take on only one of two values, a 0 or a 1. But that’s ...

Therefore, it was decided a priori not to include race as a predictor in the development of PREVENT and to use the recently developed race-free equations for eGFR on the basis of serum creatinine (CKD ...

“That way, if one assumption is proven wrong, a replacement is readily available,” Figueroa says. “So far, NIST has standardized five new post-quantum algorithms (LMS, XMSS, ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA ...

Quantum computer set to untangle math knots beyond supercomputer’s superpower Quantum computing is still in the early stages of development, but it has proven to be an extremely powerful tool ...

The Simulated Bifurcation (SB) algorithm is a fast and highly parallelizable state-of-the-art algorithm for quadratic combinatorial optimization inspired by quantum physics and spins dynamics. It ...

We prove that the first (second) algorithm converges to the reflexive (anti-reflexive) solution of the coupled matrix equations for any initial reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix. Finally two numerical ...

The 2023 Turing Award —the computing world’s Nobel Prize equivalent—has been given to mathematician Avi Wigderson for his groundbreaking and widely applicable contributions to computer science.

The myth and reality of unbreakability Securing secret messages hasn’t always been tied to difficult math problems; until recently, cryptography was barely mathematical at all. In ancient Greece ...
