Alphabet Inc.’s Google ran an algorithm on its “Willow” quantum-computing chip that can be repeated on similar platforms and outperform classical supercomputers, a breakthrough it said clears a path ...

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 ...

Children often surprise us with their natural problem-solving skills. A new study shows that they can discover efficient algorithms on their own. Researchers Huiwen Alex Yang, Bill D. Thompson, and ...

The number of girls choosing to take a GCSE in computer science fell this year, breaking a consistent growth streak. In 2025, the number of girls taking computing at GCSE level dropped to 20,708, down ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a classic and well-known algorithmic problem in the Computer Science field, and with this problem, we can understand how a complex algorithm can really work.

Social media companies know the power of reinforcement and do their best to deliver this to you to keep you hooked. However, there are things you can do to counter-control these attempts to keep you ...
