Time series analysis forms an essential part of modern data science by examining sequential data to unravel the underlying dynamics of complex systems. In particular, entropy-based measures quantify ...

Randomness is essential to some research, but it’s always been prohibitively complicated to achieve. Now, we can use “pseudorandomness” instead. Nothing is certain in the quantum realm. A particle, ...

Avi Wigderson is the first recipient of both a Turing Award and an Abel Prize, math's top honor. Andrea Kane / Institute for Advanced Study The 2023 Turing Award—the computing world’s Nobel Prize ...

Life and the riddle of randomness -- Time, size and complexity -- Small organisms and neutral morphologies -- The evolution of the decrease of randomness -- An exception : where small organisms ...

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first ...

In the messy world of uncertainty and randomness, the ability to adapt, research and interpret is a crucial skill. Humans love answers. If certainty is heaven for most people, then randomness is hell.

Researchers identified a problem that holds the key to whether all encryption can be broken -- as well as a surprising connection to a mathematical concept that aims to define and measure randomness.
