A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...
Determining the least expensive path for a new subway line underneath a metropolis like New York City is a colossal planning challenge—involving thousands of potential routes through hundreds of city ...
In experiments, researchers showed that the disease-spreading insects couldn’t resist the sweet smell of a fungus that infected and killed them. By Jason P. Dinh Watch your back, DEET. There’s a new ...
Abstract: A flexible job-shop scheduling problem with lot streaming (FJSP-LS) is an extension of flexible job-shop scheduling problems (FJSPs). In it, jobs are allowed to be split into multiple ...
Abstract: Recent studies have been conducted actively on scheduling in a parcel delivery system using a truck and drones to deliver parcels more effectively. In logistics, it is necessary to provide ...
A key question in artificial intelligence is how often models go beyond just regurgitating and remixing what they have learned and produce truly novel ideas or insights. A new project from Google ...
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 ...
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 ...
