Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) provide a versatile framework for modelling complex decision-making tasks where a collection of variables must be allocated values that satisfy specific ...

We are clearly on the verge of a revolution in medicine—one in which the sequence of As, Ts, Gs, and Cs is as much a part of a patient’s phenotypic profile as are the sounds of the heart or were the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because ...

Scientists have established a relationship between the complexity of a problem, and the physical processes of entanglement required to solve it. “Some mathematical problems are easy. Some mathematical ...

Every week quantum computing hits a new milestone: more qubits, fewer errors, better readout of results. But will these breakthroughs help solve the advanced computational problems facing energy, like ...

This chapter highlights some of the most prominent research challenges from theoretical/computational chemistry that appear to be amenable to attack with the help of ...
