With AlphaTensor, DeepMind Technologies has presented an AI system that is supposed to independently find novel, efficient and provably correct algorithms for complex mathematical tasks. AlphaTensor ...

New lower values for p get discovered all the time (maybe once a year). It is conjectured that they will approach 2.0 without ever getting quite to it. Somehow Quanta Mag heard about the new result ...

Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

The matrix multiplication infix operator (*) produces a new matrix by performing matrix multiplication. The first matrix must have the same number of columns as the second matrix has rows. The new ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster than ever before by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, reports Quanta Magazine. This could eventually ...

Optical computing uses photons instead of electrons to perform computations, which can significantly increase the speed and energy efficiency of computations by overcoming the inherent limitations of ...
