Early-career researchers in theoretical computer science presented novel algorithms, techniques, and data structures at the annual Junior Theorists Workshop, co-hosted by the Northwestern CS Theory ...

On December 9-10, the Northwestern CS Theory Group and the Institute for Data, Econometrics, Algorithms, and Learning (IDEAL) co-hosted the 2021 Junior Theorists Workshop. Sami Davies and Sheng Yang, ...

Professor Uehara from JAIST works at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and the art of solving puzzles. His research strives to understand the computational ...

Computer scientists’ daydreams have revealed the power of quantum mechanics. Imagine meeting omniscient beings who claim to have the solution to a complex problem that no computer could ever solve.

When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his advisers proposed a modest plan: to work together on one of the most famous, long-standing problems in theoretical computer science. Even ...

Quantum computing could lead to revolutions in cryptography, materials design and telecommunications. But fulfilling those ...

Getting students to buy into a class, getting them to buy into the content, pushing them beyond what they think they're capable of — that is what drives my work. Professor Sam Gutekunst, the John D.

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, ...
