Abstract: Quantum walk-based search algorithms have demonstrated an asymptotic quadratic speedup compared to classical search methods. Formulating a generic search problem as a (quantum) search over a ...

The toppling of a head of state rarely inspires market confidence. But since American special forces barrelled Nicolás Maduro onto a plane, investors have piled into Venezuelan government debt: ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

Social media companies and their respective algorithms have repeatedly been accused of fueling political polarization by promoting divisive content on their platforms. Now, two U.S. Senators have ...

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, ...

The Kansas City Chiefs took a frustrating 31-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football. Entering Week 6 with a 2-3 record, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t try to sugarcoat ...

The code within this repository implements a quantum algorithm for solving the subset sum problem, which is stated as follows: Some authors are only concerned with whether or not such a subset exists, ...

A new proof illuminates the hidden patterns that emerge when addition becomes impossible. The simplest ideas in mathematics can also be the most perplexing. Take addition. It’s a straightforward ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...
