Nils Gerhardt outlines the threat quantum computing poses to current forms of encryption, and suggests how to get ahead of the game.

Newton method, invented by physicist Isaac Newton about 300 years ago, is an algorithm that still plays an important role in a wide range of fields, including logistics, financial engineering ...

Why do these algorithms need to be quantum resistant? Cryptographic algorithms are able to keep data secret because they are mathematically intensive to break.

Algorithms are turning up in the most unlikely places, promising to assert mathematical probability into corners of our lives where intuition, instinct and hunches have long held sway.

It is an unsupervised method of vector quantization, and is useful for feature learning, and for providing a starting point for other algorithms.

Machine learning uses algorithms to turn a data set into a model that can identify patterns or make predictions from new data. Which algorithm works best depends on the problem.

Algorithmic trading provides a more systematic approach to active trading than one based on intuition or instinct. Learn how hedge funds use computer programs to trade.
