More than 20% of the workload on the world's 500 fastest supercomputers is spent simulating how atoms and molecules move—with applications ranging from material design to identifying drug interactions ...
Abstract: Karatsuba algorithm (KA) is popularly used for high-precision multiplication by divide-and-conquer approach. Recently, subquadratic digit-serial multiplier based on (a,2)-way KA ...
RSA encryption protects everything from your Amazon purchases to your bank transfers. But quantum computing presents a fundamental challenge to this security. I dove into the math to understand ...
Is 170,141,183,460,469,231,731,687,303,715,884,105,727 prime? Before you ask the Internet for an answer, can you consider how you might answer that question without a ...
In 1971, German mathematicians Schönhage and Strassen predicted a faster algorithm for multiplying large numbers, but it remained unproven for decades. Mathematicians from Australia and France have ...

A shard of smooth bone etched with irregular marks dating back 20,000 years puzzled archaeologists until they noticed something unique – the etchings, lines like tally marks, may have represented ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For thousands of years, if you wanted to send a secret message, there was basically one way to do it. You’d scramble the message using a ...
Imagine a number made up of a vast string of ones: 1111111…111. Specifically, 136,279,841 ones in a row. If we stacked up that many sheets of paper, the resulting tower would stretch into the ...
Thousands of computers across the world are currently scouring the number line in a scavenger hunt for rare mathematical gems. Enthusiasts looking for larger and larger prime numbers, which are ...
Abstract: This paper presents two improved modular multiplication algorithms: variable length Interleaved modular multiplication (VLIM) algorithm and parallel modular multiplication (P_MM) method ...
