A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach. 1. On Monday, July 19, 2021, in the middle of another strange pandemic summer, a leading computer ...

A UB COMPUTER scientist, Jin-Yi Cai, and a computer science graduate student, D. Sivakumar, have proven one of the oldest conjectures in the field of complexity theory. They did it using a combination ...

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

The “sensitivity” conjecture stumped many top computer scientists, yet the new proof is so simple that one researcher summed it up in a single tweet. A paper posted online this month has settled a ...

A leader in the field of computational theory is the latest winner of the A. M. Turing Award, sometimes described as the ‘Nobel Prize’ of computer science. Avi Wigderson at the Institute for Advanced ...

Researchers got a better look at the thoughts of chatbots, amateurs learned exactly how complicated simple systems can be, and quantum computers passed an essential milestone. The end of 2024 seems a ...

Ashutosh Trivedi is an Associate Professor of computer science at the University of Colorado Boulder. His researchinterests lie at the intersection of computer science, control theory, and machine ...

Princeton graduate alumnus Avi Wigderson has won the 2023 A.M. Turing Award from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), recognizing his profound contributions to the mathematical underpinnings ...
