Is the brain like a computer? In some ways it is, and studying how the brain performs computations could help us identify new causes of mental illness.

Avi Wigderson's pioneering work on randomness advanced the idea that some problems may simply be beyond even the most powerful computers.

What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

Quantum cloud computing is a nascent technology with profound implications, and it may soon be widely available thanks to cloud technology.

Researchers have proved that secure quantum encryption is possible in a world without hard problems, establishing a new foundation for what is needed to keep information secure.

Computational Psychiatry Over the past several years, a new field of research has emerged called computational psychiatry, which takes this perspective seriously.
