My teenage daughter’s face flooded with anxiety as she uttered the words any father fears to hear. No, not those words. But still, not good: “Dad, I think I spilled water on my computer.” I snatched ...

Quantum computing has entered a bit of an awkward period. There have been clear demonstrations that we can successfully run quantum algorithms, but the qubit counts ...

Collaborative, creative, and fast-paced, WildHacks is Northwestern’s largest hackathon. The annual coding-based competition is designed for all students to learn and broaden their programming skills.

Familiar names like IBM and Google were among the first to break ground in the field of commercial quantum computing, but Honeywell is claiming for itself today. After a few months of teasing, the ...

Advanced Placement courses give students a head start. Summer camps can be a great way to learn about cybersecurity. Jobs outnumber students in this rewarding field. This year, the St. Cloud Times is ...

Computer-generated holography (CGH) provides an approach to digitally modulate a given wavefront. This technology, partly inherited from optical holography and partly advanced by the progress of ...

Many important and valuable planning and scheduling problems in logistics and automation are combinatorial optimization problems. The most famous problem of this type is the traveling salesman problem ...

Researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tokyo University of Science in Japan have developed what “a novel approach” to combinatorial optimisation problems (COPs). COPs are ...

As an undergraduate at the University of Chile, Bernardo Subercaseaux took a dim view of using computers to do math. It seemed antithetical to real intellectual discovery. “There’s some instinct or ...

Quantum computers have already managed to surpass ordinary computers in solving certain tasks - unfortunately, totally useless ones. The next milestone is to get them to do useful things. Researchers ...
