Those that solve artificially simplified problems where quantum advantage is meaningless. Those that provide no genuine quantum advantage when all costs are properly accounted for. This critique is ...

Abstract: Identifying positive influence dominating set (PIDS) with the smallest cardinality can produce positive effect with the minimal cost on a social network. The purpose of this article is to ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

We study the problem of estimating the size of a maximum matching in sublinear time. The problem has been studied extensively in the literature and various algorithms and lower bounds are known for it ...

A new wave of “reasoning” systems from companies like OpenAI is producing incorrect information more often. Even the companies don’t know why. Credit...Erik Carter Supported by By Cade Metz and Karen ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

We present a new optimization-based method for aggregating preferences in settings in which each voter expresses preferences over pairs of alternatives. Our approach to identifying a consensus partial ...

Abstract: Finding the shortest vector in a lattice is a NP-hard problem. The best known approximation algorithm for this problem is LLL algorithm with the approximation factor of αn-1\2, α≥4\3, which ...

Recent advancements in quantum computing and quantum-inspired algorithms have sparked renewed interest in binary optimization. These hardware and software innovations promise to revolutionize solution ...

The U.S. Department of Defense is a mammoth organization. It not only employs millions of service members and hundreds of thousands of civilian employees, but also has the world’s largest military ...
