Quantum computing has entered a bit of an awkward period. There have been clear demonstrations that we can successfully run quantum algorithms, but the qubit counts ...

Northwestern Engineering’s Samir Khuller welcomed the presenters and guests of part two of the Undergraduate Research Showcase by discussing the importance of academic curiosity. “Knowledge is not a ...

It’s one thing to sit in a computer science class all semester and learn about programming and problem-solving. But it’s quite another to find yourself knee-deep in creating an app designed to ...

Often leaders will think they are driving a problem-solving culture by insistent, or even just encouraging, team members to utilize the tools and templates of problem-solving. However, most ...

Researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tokyo University of Science in Japan have developed what “a novel approach” to combinatorial optimisation problems (COPs). COPs are ...

While we can’t fix everything, there’s a fundamental truth that most large problems begin as small problems that, left unattended, grow or propagate. There are always plenty of problems to be solved.

Many important and valuable planning and scheduling problems in logistics and automation are combinatorial optimization problems. The most famous problem of this type is the traveling salesman problem ...
