We introduce free-energy machine (FEM), an efficient and general method for solving combinatorial optimization problems. FEM combines free-energy minimization from statistical physics with ...
Random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) form a class of models in which a collection of discrete variables is subject to a set of randomly generated constraints. Inspired by paradigms in ...
Solving life's great mysteries often requires detective work, using observed outcomes to determine their cause. For instance, nuclear physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson ...
