A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.

For decades, computers have become faster, smaller, and more powerful. But even the world’s best supercomputers have limits.

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

A degree in computer science is as worthwhile as ever. There is, after all, a lot more to the field than just coding. The discipline covers many exciting topics, such as IT system design, security, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...
