Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like ...

The death of US computer scientist and physicist Edward Fredkin this June went largely unnoticed, except for a belated obituary in the New York Times. Yet despite never quite becoming the household ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out ...

TODAY’S BEST image-generating artificial-intelligence (AI) models are remarkable. Ask OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, or its counterparts Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, to draw a penguin sipping on a vodka ...

Machine learning can get a boost from quantum physics. On certain types of machine learning tasks, quantum computers have an exponential advantage over standard computation, scientists report in the ...

Quantum Science and Engineering is the study and application of the principles of quantum mechanics (such as superposition and entanglement) to develop new technologies that surpass the limits of ...

As a teenager in the Czech Republic, Lenka Zdeborová glimpsed her future in an Isaac Asimov novel. A character in Asimov’s “Foundation” series invents a mathematical method for predicting the path of ...

The 2023 Turing Award has been given to Avi Wigderson . The mathematician found that adding randomness into algorithms made them better at solving nondeterministic problems. When you purchase through ...

The right double major for computer science depends on your interest and goals. A double major in engineering, mathematics, or comparable discipline supplements what you learn in a computer science ...

We have a high faculty-student ratio. We will know your name. Hackathons, contests, research, and conferences are part of the student experience. Employers look for W&M graduates because of their ...
