HIV and tuberculosis (TB) treatment programs have always relied on clinical trials to understand whether treatment interventions are actually working, but they're costly and cumbersome. Meanwhile, ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

Introduction: We present Quantum Adaptive Search (QAGS), a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for global optimization of multivariate functions. The method employs an adaptive mechanism that ...

As we talked about a decade ago in the wake of launching The Next Platform, quantum computers – at least the fault tolerant ones being built by IBM, Google, Rigetti, and a few others – need a massive ...

As new classical schools sprout nationwide, fueling a revival of liberal arts and virtues-based education, there is no reliable pipeline of trained teachers from which to recruit. Classical education ...

Quantum computing may one day outperform classical machines in solving certain complex problems, but when and how this “quantum advantage” emerges has remained unclear. Now, researchers from Kyoto ...

The sea temperature in the South China Sea has a significant impact on the regional marine ecosystem as well as the high-impact ocean-atmosphere events. Therefore, accurate forecasting of ocean ...

ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of unlabeled time-series data in domains such as wireless communications, radar, biomedical engineering, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven advancements in ...

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 ...

Quantum computers, which process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential to outperform classical computers in some optimization and computational tasks. In addition, they ...
