For years, quantum computers have carried a bold promise. They could solve problems so complex that even the world’s best ...

Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) provide a versatile framework for modelling complex decision-making tasks where a collection of variables must be allocated values that satisfy specific ...

Our era is defined by a constant flow of information. Data from smartphones, wearables and environmental sensors, connected to sharing and analysis platforms, accompany us daily, creating a digital ...

This chapter highlights some of the most prominent research challenges from theoretical/computational chemistry that appear to be amenable to attack with the help of ...

There are problems that are in practice beyond the capabilities of even the most powerful versions of today’s computers imaginable. These successes could be taken to indicate that computation has no ...

Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved 9 open Erdős problems and proved 44 OEIS conjectures using AI-driven formal ...

Imagine you’re on a quest to understand the very nature of computation. You’re deep in the wilderness, far from any paths, and inscrutable messages are carved into the trunks of trees all around you — ...

They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because those cohabiting birds are the protagonists of a deceptively ...
