In the past decade, machine learning has received tremendous attention with the success of deep neural networks (or more generally deep learning) in practically relevant tasks such as natural language ...

Distinguishing between various possibilities is fundamental to the scientific method and the process of discovery and categorization. As such, mathematical methods underlying distinguishability have ...

It has demonstrated the powerful ability of a quantum computer to perform certain computational tasks more efficiently than a classical computer. Thus, to show quantum advantages is a key problem in ...

Quantum computers, technologies that perform computations leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena, could eventually outperform classical computers on many complex computational and optimization ...

Scientists have developed a method to extract the spectral density for molecules in solvent using simple resonance Raman experiments -- a method that captures the full complexity of chemical ...

The prolific researcher found deep connections between randomness and computation and spent a career influencing cryptographers, complexity researchers and more. For more than 40 years, Avi Wigderson ...

You might say it all started with a spot of hay fever. In June 1925, a young physicist named Werner Heisenberg retreated to the barren island of Helgoland in the North Sea, seeking respite from his ...

This course will be an introduction to the theory of quantum computation from a computer science perspective. Quantum computing holds great promise for obtaining substantial computational improvements ...

Many physicists and engineers have recently been trying to demonstrate the potential of quantum computers for tackling some problems that are particularly demanding and are difficult to solve for ...

The puzzling behavior of black hole interiors has led researchers to propose a new physical law: the second law of quantum complexity. Heat death held a morbid fascination for Victorian-era physicists ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...
