Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than ...

For decades, philosophers and physicists alike have speculated that our entire existence might be nothing more than an advanced simulation. But new research from the University of British Columbia ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

A mathematical proof has finally debunked the idea that we live in a simulation, according to a group of international researchers. The theory that the universe could be a computer programme has been ...

New Nature paper introduces transversal fault tolerance framework, slashing overhead for error-corrected quantum algorithms and accelerating the path to practical large-scale computation BOSTON, Sept.

Researchers have successfully extended the quantum phase difference estimation algorithm, a general quantum algorithm for the direct calculations of energy gaps, to enable the direct calculation of ...
