Algorithms are turning up in the most unlikely places, promising to assert mathematical probability into corners of our lives where intuition, instinct and hunches have long held sway.

Scientists have different ideas of how to prevent that Traditional computer algorithms tend to show bias in favor of men when they use entrance exam scores to predict a student’s college grades.

Making the real-world connection, the guide then walks programmers through implementing the algorithms on IBM's publicly available 5-qubit IBMQX4 quantum computer and others.

Right now, [Kory]’s computer that can program itself only does so by creating simple ‘hello world’ programs.

Most significantly, it exhibits only a linear growth in the solution times based on the number of connections between nodes. In addition, the structure of the algorithm is such that it simultaneously ...
