Regarding of the characters of this class of problems and the disadvantages of the existing simulated annealing algorithms, ...

Quantum algorithms offer hope for tackling computer science problems that are intractable for classical computers 1. However, exponential speed-ups seen in, for example, number factoring 2, have not ...

In computer science, normally we care about asymptotic speedup: We care about, “What is your running time as a function of the size of the problem? Does it grow linearly? Does it grow quadratically?” ...

Are powerful quantum computers finally here? Google is claiming that its D-Wave quantum computer can solve certain problems 100 million times faster than an ordinary computer, a result that it says ...

Wang Chao and his colleagues at Shanghai University have announced that they have developed a method to break RSA encryption, a cryptography whose security is based on the difficulty of prime ...
