We often hear that quantum computers efficiently solve problems that are very difficult to solve with a classical computer. But even if the hardware is available to build a quantum computer, ...

Algorithm design isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible either. People who design algorithms don’t sit around looking for problems to solve, they are usually already involved in projects when a problem ...

What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...
