The travelling salesman problem (TSP) remains one of the most challenging NP‐hard problems in combinatorial optimisation, with significant implications for logistics, network design and route planning ...

Not long ago, a team of researchers from Stanford and McGill universities broke a 35-year record in computer science by an almost imperceptible margin — four hundredths of a trillionth of a trillionth ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

Research team debuts the first deterministic streaming algorithms for non-monotone submodular maximization, delivering superior approximation ratios with minimal memory and real-time throughput on ...

(a) Performance of two adiabatic paths for finding the maximum independent set. (b) Performance of traditional heuristic adiabatic paths for finding independent sets. Quantum annealing, as a prominent ...
