Quantum computers can do some things better than classical computers—but many things they still cannot. Researchers at Saarland University are now working together with industry partners BMW, Infineon, and the quantum computing start-up planqc to combine both worlds. A quantum computer is intended to help classical computers tackle highly complex…
Artificial intelligence today is largely based on statistical methods that search for patterns in large amounts of data. So far, AI cannot recognise causalities, meaning it cannot understand how cause and effect are related in the same way that humans can. Computer science researcher Sara Magliacane wants to change that.…
The Harlan D. Mills Award is the most important international distinction in the field of software engineering, honoring scientists for their lifetime achievements. Andreas Zeller has now received this honor—only the second German to do so. He is a researcher at the Helmholtz Center for IT Security (CISPA) and a…
