Could the deepest laws of nature ever be reduced to lines of code? A team of physicists from Canada, the United States, the ...

Complexity theory is a fundamental branch of theoretical computer science that categorises computational problems according to their inherent difficulty and the resources required to solve them. At ...

A new study suggests that, at least mathematically speaking, the idea doesn’t hold up, as some facets of reality can’t be explain purely algorithmically.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In 2019, Google claimed it was the first to demonstrate a quantum computer performing a calculation beyond the abilities of today’s most powerful supercomputers. But most of the ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

This essay asks how we might articulate a political theory of algorithms. To do so, I propose a political ontology of the algorithm dispositif that elaborates how algorithms arrange the movement of ...

A general theory of ordering lexicographic entries in various languages is formulated. Basic concepts and principles of one-, and many-step ordering are discussed. The algorithms for one-step ...

Apple CEO Tim Cook has said it is time to face the consequences of having algorithms push users towards more engagement at any cost. Speaking at the Computers ...

A new theory could bring a way to make quantum algorithm development less of an accidental process, say scientists. In 2019, Google claimed it was the first to demonstrate a quantum computer ...
