Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are ...

Machine learning can get a boost from quantum physics. On certain types of machine learning tasks, quantum computers have an exponential advantage over standard computation, scientists report in the ...

The death of US computer scientist and physicist Edward Fredkin this June went largely unnoticed, except for a belated obituary in the New York Times. Yet despite never quite becoming the household ...

Quantum computing is slowly entering the mainstream, as more people discuss the technology and its potential within ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...

The 2023 Turing Award has been given to Avi Wigderson, a mathematician who discovered the strange connection between computation and randomness. Wigderson was announced the winner of the Association ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

The future of work will demand fluency in both science and technology. From addressing climate change to designing ethical AI ...
