Tensor networks enable researchers to tackle quantum physics problems previously thought to be solvable only by quantum computers. Credit: Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation By applying a 1980s ...

The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian architect Ernő Rubik. Initially called the “Magic Cube,” it was meant to be a teaching tool for understanding three-dimensional geometry. However, it ...

Some readers may solve the problem procedurally: line up the two numbers, add the ones column, carry the one, and add the tens to get 43. Others might instead notice a creative shortcut: 29 + 14 is ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

I’m in a coffee shop when a young child dumps out his mother’s bag in search of fruit snacks. The contents spill onto the table, bench and floor. It’s a chaotic – but functional – solution to the ...

OpenAI and Google DeepMind demonstrated that their foundation models could outperform human coders — and win — showing that large language models (LLMs) can solve complex, previously unsolved ...

As quantum computing develops, scientists are working to identify tasks for which quantum computers have a clear advantage over classical computers. So far, researchers have only pinpointed a handful ...
