Quantum computing advantages look weaker; classical methods beat a nitrogen-fixing molecule simulation, raising doubts about ...

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

Engineers at Toshiba and MIRISE report embedding a quantum-inspired optimization system directly onto a mobile robot, ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

A new technical paper titled “QCEDA: Using Quantum Computers for EDA” was published by researchers at Fraunhofer IESE, RPTU Kaiserslautern, DLR (Germany), and OTH Regensburg. “The field of Electronic ...

Are expensive hardware upgrades solving the wrong problem? Many gamers experience performance issues and immediately assume ...

Heidi S. Enger ’27, an Associate Editorial Editor, is a Social Studies Concentrator in Eliot House. She’s enrolled in Ec10b this semester (don’t ask). Harvard students have to stop treating life like ...
