Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory. A mathematician and physicist working together found the connection, which they say is part of plotting ...

The study of string constraints and symbolic computation encompasses the development of methods and algorithms for analysing and solving problems where variables represent sequences of characters.

Researchers have come up with a way to generate truly random numbers using quantum mechanics. The method uses photons to generate a string of random ones and zeros, and leans on the laws of physics to ...
