Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

What happens when things combine? This question lies at the heart of the Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality (BBL), a mathematical relation widely applied across many fields of mathematics, science and ...

After an eight-year struggle, embattled Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki has finally received some validation. His 600-page proof of the abc conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in ...

Beats $400 fine with four-page mathematical proof. April 16, 2012 — -- Ever talk your way out of a traffic ticket? Bet it's a painful memory, isn't it? Dmitri Krioukov, a physicist at the ...

Number theorist Andrew Granville on what mathematics really is — and why objectivity is never quite within reach. In 2012, the mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki claimed he had solved the abc conjecture ...

After over three decades, five academic studies and one thousand pages, a team led by Yale Professor Sam Raskin has solved a part of what some consider math’s “Rosetta Stone.” Raskin led a nine-person ...

When a top-tier mathematician announced in August that he had proved one of the greatest problems in mathematics, the claim was trumpeted in the New York Times, Nature, Science and the Boston Globe.

Physicist Dmitri Krioukov wrote a paper to disprove the assertion that he had run a stop sign, apparently convincing both a judge and the officer who issued the citation. Physicist Dmitri Krioukov ...

University of Florida provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation US. What happens when someone claims to have proved a famous conjecture? Well, it depends. When a paper is submitted, ...

There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper ...
