The notion that some computational problems in math and computer science can be hard should come as no surprise. There is, in fact, an entire class of problems deemed impossible to solve ...

Scientists have demonstrated a breakthrough application of neutral-atom quantum processors to solve problems of practical use. A collaboration between Harvard University with scientists at QuEra ...

A collaboration between Harvard University with scientists at QuEra Computing, MIT, University of Innsbruck and other institutions has demonstrated a breakthrough application of neutral-atom quantum ...

It remains an open question when a commercial quantum computer will emerge that can outperform classical (non-quantum) machines in speed and energy efficiency while solving real-world combinatorial ...

Shows more than 40% increase in energy scale to deliver higher-quality solutions and 20-way qubit connectivity capable of tackling larger problems than the previous Advantage™ system The new ...

When a commercial quantum computer will surpass classical machines for real-world optimization is unknown, but probabilistic p-computers with p-bits offer a practical interim path. (Nanowerk News) It ...

Built with new lower-noise fabrication stack, the Advantage2 prototype demonstrates 20x faster time-to-solution on important class of hard optimization problems Developed with a new lower-noise, ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

(Nanowerk News) While Santa Claus may have a magical sleigh and nine plucky reindeer to help him deliver presents, for companies like FedEx, the optimization problem of efficiently routing holiday ...
