Computational complexity and proof systems constitute a cornerstone of theoretical computer science, addressing both the inherent difficulty of algorithmic problems and the efficiency of formal ...

Reaction systems represent a biologically inspired computational framework that abstracts the intricate interactions of biochemical reactions via two central mechanisms: facilitation and inhibition.

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 ...

The historical pursuit of creating intelligent machines has culminated in the modern era of artificial intelligence. However, the efficacy of AI applications is contingent upon a nuanced understanding ...

Our era is defined by a constant flow of information. Data from smartphones, wearables and environmental sensors, connected to sharing and analysis platforms, accompany us daily, creating a digital ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because ...

They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because those cohabiting birds are the protagonists of a deceptively ...

Time. We use it to organize our lives, measure our experiences, and impose structure on reality. But what if time, as we conventionally understand it, doesn’t actually exist? What if, instead of being ...
