Two brothers in Singapore have built a data-encryption company on pure mathematics, betting that a problem no algorithm can ...

Researchers around the world are racing to develop new quantum-based systems for sensing, communication, computing and ...

Medical imaging methods such as ultrasound and MRI are often affected by background noise, which can introduce blurring and obscure fine anatomical details in the images. For clinicians who depend on ...

The LWE-decision problem is the problem of deciding whether pairs \(({{{\bf{a}}}},c)\in {{\mathbb{Z}}}_{q}^{n}\times {{\mathbb{Z}}}_{q}\) are sampled according to a ...

Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is. Physicists often rely on ...

Quantum annealing emerges as a promising approach for tackling complex scheduling problems such as the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). This study represents the first ...

Imagine the tap of a card that bought you a cup of coffee this morning also let a hacker halfway across the world access your bank account and buy themselves whatever they liked. Now imagine it wasn’t ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Compared with traditional GPU-based computing, quantum computing has the potential to perform far more complex tasks more quickly and cheaply. Data centers are draining more electricity from global ...

Quantum is fundamentally complex and can be very confusing, even to those in the field.  The vast majority of people are not ...
