Through a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship, Jenny Quan is exploring the mathematical principles behind Rubik's cubes.

UC Santa Barbara computer scientist Daniel Lokshtanov is advancing fundamental understanding of computational efficiency through groundbreaking research on quasi-polynomial time algorithms, supported ...

Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980's. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem and had just given away much of the ...

In the race toward practical quantum computers and networks, photons—fundamental particles of light—hold intriguing possibilities as fast carriers of information at room temperature. Researchers at ...

Jacob Holm was flipping through proofs from an October 2019 research paper he and colleague Eva Rotenberg—an associate professor in the department of applied mathematics and computer science at the ...

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 ...
