This obviously would render all prime-factor based cryptography algorithms obsolete. I have warned the FBI about this for a while, however; what everyone wanted from me was an algorithm that does ...

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

Our algorithm solves the uncapacitated minimum cost flow problem as a sequence of O(n log n) shortest path problems on networks with n nodes and m arcs and runs in O(n log n (m + n log n)) time. Using ...

Here we develop a polynomial time algorithm that provably finds the ground state of any 1D quantum system described by a gapped local Hamiltonian with constant ground-state energy.

The Lamport algorithm provides an elegant scheme for generating and applying one-time passwords, or OTP. Find out how Lamport works, then see it in action with an OTP reference implementation for ...
