Engineers at Ohio State University, used to design computer algorithms to simulate human vision, have developed a new way to improve pattern recognition software. Traditionally, this kind of software ...

Computers can beat some of the world's top chess players, but the most powerful machines have failed at the popular Asian board game Go, in which human intuition has so far proven key. Two Hungarian ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum ...

A new algorithm that fast forwards simulations could bring greater use ability to current and near-term quantum computers, opening the way for applications to run past strict time limits that hamper ...

Instead of waiting for fully mature quantum computers to emerge, researchers have developed hybrid classical/quantum algorithms to extract the most performance -- and potentially quantum advantage -- ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Algorithms are the building blocks that, when layered together, form the cryptographic fortress ...

Within a few years quantum computers could catch up to or even outperform classical computers thanks to significant work on hardware and the algorithms to run on it. Quantum computers exploit quantum ...
