Instead of writing rules for more efficient AI reasoning themselves, researchers let a coding agent hunt for better control algorithms in a simulated environment. The result beats established methods ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute and ...

In heavily boron doped diamond (HBDD), doping induced disorder can lead to inhomogeneity in the superconducting order parameter even in structurally homogeneous samples. We probe this intrinsically ...

we find two factors of the product of the constant term (the term with no variable) and the coefficient of the squared variable whose sum gives the linear term. These factors are now placed in ...
