The hope for quantum computers is that the devices will be able to solve complex tasks such as predicting how chemicals react or cracking encrypted text. One of the main reasons that the machines are ...

To simulate the Earth, he suggests that it would be necessary to convert the entire stellar mass of a globular cluster into ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

Adrian Macneil has a solid understanding of this space. As an executive at the self-driving startup Cruise, he built the ...

Team from U.S. Department of Energy-funded Quantum Science Center demonstrates quantum computers can perform material simulation that many previously believed to be beyond current quantum capabilities ...

How do you stop robotic traffic jams? Researchers found that adding "noise" or randomness to robot paths optimizes swarm efficiency, proving that swarms don't need central AI to avoid gridlock.

This is as good as the real thing, according to Alex Wissner-Gross, a computer scientist and Eon’s cofounder: “What you are ...

The Diary of a CEO welcomed a Latvian computer scientist onto the podcast last week, who told Steven Bartlett about the ...

In crowded environments, more robots don’t always mean faster results—in fact, too many can bring everything to a standstill.

David J. Silvester, a mathematics professor at the University of Manchester, has developed a novel machine-learning method to ...

Researchers have shown that blending quantum computing with AI can dramatically improve predictions of complex, chaotic ...
