Quantum annealing (QA) has the potential to significantly improve solution quality and reduce time complexity in solving combinatorial optimization problems compared to classical optimization methods.

Universality is an idea that permeates physics and computer science. In various guises, this principle says that there are broad equivalence classes of phenomena at long distances, at long times or at ...

A new suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution. In 1950 the Italian physicist Enrico ...
