This puzzle looks like it needs calculus… but you’re not allowed to use it. I explore alternative methods to get the answer only using basic math tools. 8 million inflation refund checks sent out ...

Defect lead Emanuel Palalic thinks leaning into this mindset from early development will leave the game optimized as well as pretty. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

KARLSRUHE, Germany and COLLEGE PARK, Md.– Kipu Quantum and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) announced what they said is a record achievement: the successful solution of “the most complex known protein folding ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider a more general bi-level optimization problem, where the inner objective function is consisted of three convex functions, involving a smooth and two non-smooth ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...

Heidi S. Enger ’27, an Associate Editorial Editor, is a Social Studies Concentrator in Eliot House. She’s enrolled in Ec10b this semester (don’t ask). Harvard students have to stop treating life like ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

When combined with Qiskit software tools, the 156-qubit R2 Heron quantum processor can perform 5,000 two-qubit gate operations — double the previous best — meaning it's ready for complex quantum ...

I’ve kept my gaming rig’s specs above the recommended requirements for most new big-name game releases over the last couple of years and it remains that way despite all the hardware that’s hit the ...
