Day, when an algorithm written more than 30 years ago could run on a quantum computer and compromise the security of data on ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...

The Foundations of Data Structures and Algorithms specialization includes two optional preparation courses and a three-course pathway to earn admission to the Online MS in Computer Science. You must ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

In 1994, a mathematician figured out how to make a quantum computer do something that no ordinary classical computer could. The work revealed that, in principle, a machine based on the rules of ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has debuted three encryption algorithms that it claims will help safeguard critical data from cyber attacks originating from quantum ...
