Photonic graph states are important for measurement- and fusion-based quantum computing, quantum networks, and sensing. They can in principle be generated deterministically by using emitters to create ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I help people communicate data clearly with graphs. If you are looking for examples of misleading or deceptive graphs, it is far ...

Genome assembly is the process of reconstructing genomes from DNA sequence reads. In repetitive regions of the genome, accurately assembling short reads is challenging and can lead to inaccurate or ...

For decades, the graph isomorphism problem has held a special status within complexity theory. While thousands of other computational problems have meekly succumbed to categorization as either hard or ...

The bar graph has been around since 2017. Its source is purportedly the FBI’s 2013 crime data. While white-on-black murders were the smallest category of homicide in 2013, the graph underrepresents ...

Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory. This past October, as Jacob Holm and Eva Rotenberg were thumbing through a ...

Our lives are becoming increasingly data driven. Our phones monitor our time and internet usage and online surveys discern our opinions and likes. These data harvests are used for telling us how well ...

Computer scientists are abuzz over a fast new algorithm for solving one of the central problems in the field. (January 15, 2017, update: On January 4, Babai retracted his claim that the new algorithm ...
