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 ...

What if the famous P vs NP problem isn’t just about algorithms but about the observers trying to solve them? Research ...

Imagine a parallel universe where physicists are remunerated so handsomely that they can accumulate multitudinous assets. In this alternate universe, you naturally wish to share your good fortune, so ...

There are adiabatic factoring algorithms and methods. Dwave is focused on optimization problems, however the system can be used to solve other problems including factoring. In November 2014, it was ...

In computational complexity theory, P and NP are two classes of problems. P is the class of decision problems that a deterministic Turing machine can solve in polynomial time. In useful terms, any ...

This is the second installment of a two-part article from guest blogger Ed Aboufadel. Thanks again, Ed, for contributing. In Part I, we learned of an instance of the NP-complete problem subset-sum [1] ...
