Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

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 ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a new column on the tangled questions of our technological age. One of my biggest sources of joy in life is satisfying my intellectual curiosity. I feel almost certain ...

Albert Einstein famously said that quantum mechanics should allow two objects to affect each other’s behaviour instantly across vast distances, something he dubbed “spooky action at a distance” 1.
