Combinatorial optimization problems are often encountered in real-world applications, including logistics, scheduling and ...

Are you passionate about developing AI-based and quantum-inspired solutions for the next generation of sustainable energy systems? We are now looking for a fully funded Doctoral Researcher to work on ...

Tensor networks enable researchers to tackle quantum physics problems previously thought to be solvable only by quantum computers. Credit: Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation By applying a 1980s ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

We walk through an optimization problem step by step, clearly explaining how to identify variables, set up the correct function, apply derivatives, and find maximum or minimum values. Each step is ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

Picture this: I’m hunched over a garage floor, scrubbing away at the gunky paint remover I’ve spread over a fire-engine-red paint to make way for the aesthetically-pleasing home gym that’s going to ...

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 ...

Consider someone who’s perfectly content with their office chair. It’s not ergonomic, it doesn’t have lumbar support, but it works. Then, during a meeting or a visit to a friend’s office, they sit in ...
