Today, there’s a thriving interaction between TCS and physics (mostly centered around quantum computing, but also around, for example, phase transitions in random constraint satisfaction problems).

Early-career researchers in theoretical computer science presented novel algorithms, techniques, and data structures at the annual Junior Theorists Workshop, co-hosted by the Northwestern CS Theory ...

In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Senna Aldoubosh and Lina Kim sit down with Dr. Pedro Paredes, a professor and researcher in the computer science department, to learn more about his ...

The promise of big data lies in researchers' ability to mine massive datasets for insights that can save lives, improve services and inform our understanding of the world.These data may be generated ...

Interactive proofs -- mathematical games that underlie much modern cryptography -- work even if players try to use quantum information to cheat. Computer scientists show there are multiprover ...

Outgoing postdoctoral fellows and PhD alumni from the Northwestern CS Theory Group have secured positions in academia and industry to continue pursuing research and mentorship goals during the next ...

When it comes to schools with the best computer science programs, the University of Chicago is not among the first universities that come to mind. Indeed, UChicago ranks 28th in the nation for ...

Last week, Georgia Tech recognized hundreds of students completing their degrees. One of these students is Mirabel Reid, who ...

Last year, 18 percent of Stanford University seniors graduated with a degree in computer science, more than double the proportion of just a decade earlier. Over the same period at MIT, that rate went ...

One of UCLA’s greatest ironies is that its computer science curriculum is just a series of textbooks. So much for building the next Facebook. Computer science students have long complained that their ...
