Abstract: Quantum walk-based search algorithms have demonstrated an asymptotic quadratic speedup compared to classical search methods. Formulating a generic search problem as a (quantum) search over a ...

One of the interesting conundrums that comes with adapting a superhero for video games is the way the developers have to weigh the balance between authenticity to the source material and the necessity ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the new arms race and the centerpiece of defense modernization efforts across multiple countries, including the United States. Yet, despite the surge in AI investments, ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

The Kansas City Chiefs took a frustrating 31-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football. Entering Week 6 with a 2-3 record, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t try to sugarcoat ...

The code within this repository implements a quantum algorithm for solving the subset sum problem, which is stated as follows: Some authors are only concerned with whether or not such a subset exists, ...

Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings started together in central defence. It had been a long time coming, given their respective injuries and the general reticence to combine two left-footed defenders until ...

The Meet in the Middle approach is an optimization technique for solving problems like the Subset Sum Problem, particularly when n is around 30–40. It reduces time complexity from O(2ⁿ) to O(2ⁿ/²), ...
