For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...

In part two of this three-part series, AI scientists immerse themselves in the world of primatology to accelerate behavioral ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

New research from the University of Waterloo is making inroads on one of the biggest problems in theoretical computer science ...

A few years back, Google made waves when it claimed that some of its hardware had achieved quantum supremacy, performing operations that would be effectively impossible to simulate on a classical ...

Previous attempts at building a chemical computer have been too simple, too rigid or too hard to scale, but an approach based ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

“Today, we’re announcing research that shows — for the first time in history — that a quantum computer can successfully run a verifiable algorithm on hardware,” Google writes in a new blog post. The ...

Observing the sky from Earth is often hindered by the whims of our atmosphere, which blurs the light from stars and galaxies. A recent mathematical innovation could change the game by making images ...

A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning.
