A team of researchers led by Rasmus Kinn of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich has created a near-perfect algorithm to calculate the maximum transport flows at the lowest cost in any ...

Quantum computers promise significantly shorter computing times for complex problems. But there are still only a few quantum computers worldwide with a limited number of so-called qubits. However, ...

Scientists have demonstrated a quantum algorithm that performs a true calculation for the first time. Quantum algorithms could one day enable the design of new materials, pharmaceuticals or clean ...

Conventional computers use bits, represented by zeros and ones, to transmit information, whereas quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) instead. Similar to bits, qubits have two main states or ...

Sept. 2 (UPI) --Scientists in Japan have developed a new way to measure the energy difference of an atom and a molecule. The new algorithm, described Thursday in the journal Physical Chemistry ...

Radiotherapy dose calculation algorithms are essential components of modern treatment planning, ensuring that the prescribed radiation dose conforms as closely as possible to a patient’s tumour while ...

National ICT Australia (NICTA) scientists are developing advanced surveillance technologies including software algorithms to track “inappropriate behavior” in public places. The project—which aims to ...
