Quantum programming languages enable developers to implement algorithms for quantum computers that promise computational breakthroughs in classically intractable tasks. Programming quantum computers requires awareness of entanglement, the phenomenon in which measurement outcomes of qubits are correl...

Crafting string figures — a tradition found across the globe — might reveal a shared cultural heritage that spans thousands of years. New research combines ancient creativity with modern mathematical tools to trace the evolution and spread of this timeless practice. Patterns of Tradition Across Cult...

Microsoft Research. Abstract: We present the first large-scale analysis of hardware failure rates on a million consumer PCs. We find that many failures are neither transient nor independent. Instead, a large portion of hardware induced failures are recurrent: a machine that crashes from a fault in har...
