Quantum computers get a lot of people excited because they solve problems in a manner that’s fundamentally different from existing hardware. A certain class of mathematical problems, called ...

This is the second installment of a two-part article from guest blogger Ed Aboufadel. Thanks again, Ed, for contributing. In Part I, we learned of an instance of the NP-complete problem subset-sum [1] ...

In computational complexity theory, P and NP are two classes of problems. P is the class of decision problems that a deterministic Turing machine can solve in polynomial time. In useful terms, any ...

Light propagates in a three-dimensional photonic circuit to solve the subset sum problem. The image of the reconfigurable photonic processor is based on the research presented. As technology advances, ...
