The rise of AI, graphic processing, combinatorial optimization and other data-intensive applications has resulted in data-processing bottlenecks, as ever greater amounts of data must be shuttled back ...

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 ...

Over the course of my 25-year career in the mathematical optimization software industry, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “Can you tell me what mathematical ...

An optimization problem is one where you have to make the best decision (choose the best investments, minimize your company’s costs, find the class schedule with the fewest morning classes, or so on).

Optimization problems can be tricky, but they make the world work better. These kinds of questions, which strive for the best way of doing something, are absolutely everywhere. Your phone’s GPS ...

If today's college students could find a way to get their hands on a copy of Facebook's latest neural network, they could cheat all the way through Calc 3. They could even solve the differential ...
