A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

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 ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Power distribution systems are often conceptualized as optimization models. While optimizing agents to perform tasks works well for systems with limited checkpoints, things begin to go out of hand ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper we compare track data association purity, accuracy, and timing on a simple, idealized model tracking problem for two data association methods: Global Nearest Neighbor (GNN) and ...

Abstract: In this study, we consider the application of the Hungarian algorithm for allocating positions in robotic formations. Two modifications of the Hungarian algorithm are compared. The time ...
