Algorithmic complexity and information theory are foundational disciplines that intersect to elucidate how data is structured, transmitted and computed. At its core, algorithmic complexity seeks to ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

Algorithmic complexity, a cornerstone of theoretical computer science, examines the intrinsic resource requirements of computational problems and the limits of what can be efficiently computed. Within ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a column on the tangled questions of our technological age. “Addressing algorithmic bias is like hygiene,” she told me. “You don’t brush once, you don’t floss once, you do ...

The complexity of a business process, Tesler tells us, is like energy, it cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be moved around from one place to another. To be more accurate, Tesler’s law says ...

An international collaboration has published groundbreaking research, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth: the origin of the ...
