Like many researchers in the field of computational complexity, Lance Fortnow—Professor and Former Founding Dean at the Illinois Institute of Technology’s College of Computing—has spent a lot of time ...

Source: Darren Edwards What if one of the biggest unsolved problems in mathematics is not just about numbers or computers, but about observers like you and me? This isn’t a proposed solution to P vs ...

New Orleans Pelicans fans got what they wanted on Saturday when the team announced the firing of Willie Green. James Borrego has taken over as the head coach, and the hope is that there will be a ...

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
