So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Quantum computer succeeds where a classical algorithm fails Quantum computers coupled with traditional machine learning show clear benefits.

In their book Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions, Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths argue that we can use algorithms to improve our decision-making skills. For example ...

Learn what an algorithm is and how they can be represented in Bitesize KS3 Computer Science.

Computer scientists have found a new type of problem that quantum computers can solve dramatically faster than their classical counterparts.

Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption.

Computers are great a processing large amounts of data very quickly. What computers aren’t nearly as good at (though the ...

Algorithmic trading (also called automated trading, black-box trading, or algo-trading) uses a computer program that follows a defined set of instructions (an algorithm) to place a trade.

Stop Calling Everything A.I. It’s Just Computers Doing Computer Stuff All of these new products and features are impressive, but we’re a long way from computers thinking for themselves.
