A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

Chinese experts say the post-quantum cryptography standards developed for the US may not be secure enough, and would rather wait a few years for something better.

Among the primary concerns surrounding artificial intelligence is its tendency to yield erroneous information when summarizing long documents. These "hallucinations" are problematic not only because ...

Abstract: With the continuous progress of science and technology, integrating VR technology into mathematics teaching has become an increasingly significant educational trend. This paper mainly ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

The authors do not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

If you’ve ever shuffled a deck of playing cards, you’ve most likely created a unique deck. That is, you’re probably the only person who has ever arranged the cards in precisely that order. Although ...
