Imagine that you could tell your phone that you want to drive from your house in Boston to a hotel in upstate New York, that you want to stop for lunch at an Applebee's at about 12:30, and that you ...

Most recent advances in artificial intelligence—such as mobile apps that convert speech to text—are the result of machine learning, in which computers are turned loose on huge data sets to look for ...

Researchers at Tohoku University, the University of Messina, and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) have developed a scaled-up version of a probabilistic computer (p-computer) with ...

The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they’re not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...

A photograph of the developed prototype. The system is designed such that the spintronic probabilistic bit comprising a stochastic magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) [left] generates a physical random ...

Saksman's research deals with several mathematical problem areas that involve probabilistic questions in various setups. These include probabilistic methods in mathematical physics, analysis and ...
