We spend a lot of time thinking about the difficult people in our lives—the friend who can't take feedback, the partner who always has to be right, the coworker who turns everything into a fight. But ...

From John Nash's encrypted letters to the NSA to a $1 million unsolved prize, this video unpacks why the gap between verifying and solving a problem may be the deepest puzzle in all of computer ...

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 graph ...

NP-complete problems, including optimal routing, scheduling and network design, are foundational to essential tasks across various industries. However, they actually pose challenges for conventional ...

We introduce NP-ENGINE, a scalable framework that generates near-infinite and hierarchically difficult NP-hard problems within the RLVR paradigm, empowering LLMs' optimization reasoning abilities.

Complexity theory remains one of the great unsolved mathematical puzzles. Kenneth Regan is trying to figure it out. Kenneth Regan paused at lunch in New York to glance at incoming texts from top ...

The busy box that is your brain is hard at work all day long—and it doesn’t quit when you’re asleep. Not only does your brain fill your slumber with dreams, it also goes right on solving the problems ...

A high-performance C# implementation of the classic NP-complete Subset Sum problem. Built as a research-driven exploration of computational complexity, this project applies advanced algorithmic ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...
