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 ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

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 ...

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 -- ...

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 ...
