Computational scientist and mathematician Avi Wigderson of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton has won the 2023 A.M. Turing Award. The prize, which is given annually by the Association ...

Understanding randomness is crucial in many fields. From computer science and engineering to cryptography and weather forecasting, studying and interpreting randomness helps us simulate real-world ...

Quantum computing has been touted as a revolutionary advance that uses our growing scientific understanding of the subatomic world to create a machine with powers far ...

A team including Scott Aaronson demonstrated what may be the first practical application of quantum computers to a real world problem. Using a 56-qubit quantum computer, researchers have for the first ...

In a new paper in Nature, a team of researchers from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and The University of Texas at Austin describe a milestone in ...

The 2023 Turing Award has been given to Avi Wigderson, a mathematician who discovered the strange connection between computation and randomness. Wigderson was announced the winner of the Association ...

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum computer ...

A team of researchers have published a paper in which they show that a quantum computer can produce certified randomness, which has numerous application areas such as in cryptography. According to the ...
