The artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure revolution has made an unlikely discipline suddenly relevant: thermodynamics. My perspective draws on a mechanical engineering background in advanced ...

Every so often, someone creates or changes a programming language. In the process, these language creators make a number of design choices. They may wonder whether to ...

With its bright colors, easy-to-learn rules and familiar music, the video game Tetris has endured as a pop culture icon over the last 40 years. Many people, like me, have been playing the game for ...

We review encoding and hardware-independent formulations of optimization problems for quantum computing. Using this generalized approach, an extensive library of optimization problems from the ...

If you’ve gone to a movie theater recently, it was probably for a reunion of sorts. The familiar faces of Ant-Man, Adonis Creed, and John Wick have been some of the biggest box office draws so far ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

Simulation-based optimization models are widely applied to find optimal operating conditions of processes. Often, computational challenges arise from model complexity, making the generation of ...
