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 ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

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 ...

There’s an old saying: When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Sometimes referred to as “the law of the instrument,” that hammer-and-nail idea is a common pitfall in ...

In space engineering, electronic component layout has a very important impact on the centroid stability and heat dissipation of devices. However, the diversity of components, a variety of spatial ...

A new technical paper titled “QCEDA: Using Quantum Computers for EDA” was published by researchers at Fraunhofer IESE, RPTU Kaiserslautern, DLR (Germany), and OTH Regensburg. “The field of Electronic ...
