Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

It’s been enthusiastically adopted by the ruling party and lambasted by the opposition, no matter who those titles belonged ...

Lauda and his colleagues solve some of the problems with topological qubits by using a class of theoretical particles they ...

There’s a familiar TV discourse taking shape online right now, the kind that I suspect will look awfully familiar to you if you remember the way Game of Thrones crashed and burned in its eighth and ...

Suzanne Blake is a Newsweek reporter based in New York. Her focus is reporting on consumer and social trends, spanning from retail to restaurants and beyond. She is a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill and ...

When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...

Remote sensing is a key tool to derive glacier surface velocities but existing mapping methods, such as cross-correlation techniques, can fail where surface properties change temporally or where large ...

Algorithms are pre-defined, self-contained sets of instructions designed to execute diverse functions, and they have been around for longer than you might expect. From ancient Babylon to the present ...

Courtney Gibbons is affiliated with the Association for Women in Mathematics and the American Mathematical Society. You might remember learning about the quadratic formula to figure out the solutions ...
