Research paper by Bjørnar Luteberget and Giorgio Sartor wins 2024 FICO® Xpress Best Paper Award; the algorithm is now in FICO® Xpress Solver “When solving a very large computational problem, ...

The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...

Quantum computing has entered a bit of an awkward period. There have been clear demonstrations that we can successfully run quantum algorithms, but the qubit counts ...

A quantum computer can solve optimization problems faster than classical supercomputers, a process known as “quantum advantage” and demonstrated by a USC researcher in a paper recently published in ...

For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but what if this is the wrong strategy altogether? This is because some problems defeat computers, not because they are ...

What if the next new mathematical discovery didn’t come from a human mind, but from an AI? Imagine a machine not just crunching numbers but proposing original solutions to problems that have baffled ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...
