Watt’s online MSc Computer Science blends academic expertise with practical, real-world teaching, including algorithm demos ...

Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation. Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation - they are at the heart of what our devices actually do. And this ...

A 20-year-old algorithm that demonstrated the benefit of using quantum mechanics to solve certain problems has finally been run on a quantum computer. Simon’s algorithm, proposed by computer scientist ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Scientists say they’ve developed a framework to make computer algorithms “safer” to use without creating bias based on race, gender or other factors. The trick, they say, is to make it possible for ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum ...
