Memcomputing is a novel non-Turing paradigm of computation that uses interacting memory cells (memprocessors for short) to store and process information on the same physical platform. It was recently ...

Quantum computers get a lot of people excited because they solve problems in a manner that’s fundamentally different from existing hardware. A certain class of mathematical problems, called ...

NP-complete problems, including optimal routing, scheduling and network design, are foundational to essential tasks across various industries. However, they actually pose challenges for conventional ...

Hands up, who remembers D-Wave? No? Well, don’t worry; it’s still around. D-Wave is a company that is pursuing the development of a scalable quantum computer. And, just in case you forgot about them, ...

The molecules that help muscles contract could one day help drive a new kind of molecular supercomputer, researchers said. These biological computers could quickly solve complex problems that ...

Quick verification A quantum computer has been shown to be faster than a classical one at verifying the solution to an NP-complete problem when provided with only a ...

Thousands of notoriously difficult problems in computer science are actually the same problem in disguise If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award-winning journalism by ...

They have a mathematical, analog “solver” that can potentially find the best solution to NP-hard problems. NP-hardness is a theory of computational complexity, with problems that are famous for their ...

IF YOU have ever struggled to complete classic Nintendo games, don’t feel bad – they are officially difficult. An analysis of the computational complexity of video games, including those in the Mario ...
