Algorithms are the fundamental procedures that guide computers in solving problems, from simple calculations to complex data analysis. At their core, an algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Quantum physicists have developed an algorithm that uses a single qubit to solve a problem that had previously needed thousands of them. Quantum computing offers the hope of dramatic increases in ...

Like most engineers, I find myself drawn to complex puzzles. And the more complicated the problem, the more intrigued I am to solve it. This love for problem-solving was nurtured at a very young age.

Learn a clear, step-by-step approach to solving coding problems—from understanding the prompt and planning an algorithm to writing clean code and testing edge cases. These practical problem-solving ...

Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum ...
