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 ...

A new undergraduate major in mathematics and computing will launch next fall, led by a joint effort between the School of ...

Google said it has developed a computer algorithm that points the way to practical applications for quantum computing and ...

Daniel Lokshtanov’s work explores the limits of what computers can solve, paving the way for advances in artificial intelligence and computational efficiency.

Computer science involves much more than writing code. It blends technical knowledge —like programming, algorithms and data systems — with soft skills, such as communication and problem-solving.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Google's Willow chip has achieved a verifiable quantum advantage, running a new algorithm 13,000 times faster than the best supercomputers. This breakthrough, named Quantum Echoes, can explain atomic ...

The search engine giant is calling its demonstration an example of “quantum advantage”, or the point at which quantum systems ...

A degree in computer science used to promise a cozy career in tech. Now, students’ ambitions are shaped by AI, in fields that ...

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 ...
