Welcome to the website of the CS theory group at CU Boulder! Our faculty and students research all aspects of theoretical computer science, from core areas such as algorithms, complexity, and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In 2019, Google claimed it was the first to demonstrate a quantum computer performing a calculation beyond the abilities of today’s most powerful supercomputers. But most of the ...

The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem. Many aspects of modern applied research ...

Life’s origin story just became even more mysterious. Using mathematics and information theory, Robert G. Endres of Imperial ...

To help curb the spread of covid-19 by exercising "social distancing", we will be cancelling our regular theory seminars immediately until further notice. A half-space (over the Boolean hypercube) is ...

A new theory could bring a way to make quantum algorithm development less of an accidental process, say scientists. In 2019, Google claimed it was the first to demonstrate a quantum computer ...
