Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

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 ...

Visualizes a city skyline that changes with the time of day using custom line and circle algorithms in OpenGL (PyOpenGL).

Abstract: On a computer (PC) producing a circle is a slightly tedious task, this problem was first solved by the Bresenham's circle drawing algorithm, further that same algorithm was again improved by ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

Researchers said it was the first time a quantum computer “posed a real and substantial threat” to encryption, but multiple limitations still hamper a full-scale hack. Chinese researchers using a ...
