When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

Dijkstra's algorithm has long been the quickest way of finding the shortest possible paths in a network, but researchers have ...

Circle detection algorithms form a fundamental pillar in computer vision, enabling the identification of circular features across a wide range of applications from automated industrial inspection to ...

If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a slippery concept. Perhaps one day there’s an accident or road closure ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Building on a landmark algorithm, researchers propose a way to make a smaller and more noise-tolerant quantum factoring circuit for cryptography. The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted ...

Objective: This study developed and tested a computer method to automatically assign subjects to aggregate work groups based on their free text work descriptions. Methods: The Double Root Extended ...

In a new UCLA-led study, investigators shed light on the intricate processes underlying cancer evolution and define the optimal algorithms to analyze the genetic makeup of tumors.

When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his advisers proposed a modest plan: to work together on one of the most famous, long-standing problems in theoretical computer science. Even ...
