IonQ is one of the larger examples of pure-play quantum firms. IonQ and competitors including Rigetti and D-Wave have seen ...

DeepMind’s AlphaDev adopted an unconventional approach to uncover faster algorithms by venturing into the realm of computer assembly instructions — a domain seldom explored by humans.

Currently, computer scientists often design their algorithms to succeed under the most difficult scenario — one designed by an adversary trying to stump them. For example, imagine trying to check the ...

Researchers in the Algorithms and Bioinformatics cluster develop tools that address real-world problems in medicine, the environment, industry and beyond. Research in the cluster has supported ...

Although quantum computing is a nascent field, there are plenty of key moments that defined it over the last few decades as scientists strive to create machines that can solve impossible problems.

The use of genetic algorithms has recently shown its strength by allowing a computer to compute, “the law of conservation of momentum, and Newton’s second law of motion,” with only input ...

Those algorithms are ways of working out the lowest energy state, or "ground state" of the quantum system. The team says that QAOA is an important example of this type of quantum algorithm.

These algorithms could be used to simulate quantum systems related to material sciences or chemistry, for example. Although you can’t claim general quantum advantage, for those specific use ...
