A Los Alamos scientist has shown that quantum computers can be used to “factorize” group representations, a mathematical ...

A new study addresses a foundational problem in the theory of driven quantum matter by extending the Středa formula to ...

R esearchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Quantum computing is a lot to wrap your mind around. To put things very simply (as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did recently, with surprising eloquence) regular computers are made up of bits ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

Quantum computing is widely believed to be a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it is a double-edged sword. If efficient ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

Medical imaging methods such as ultrasound and MRI are often affected by background noise, which can introduce blurring and obscure fine anatomical details in the images. For clinicians who depend on ...
