Two mathematicians have proved that a straightforward question — how hard is it to untie a knot? — has a complicated answer.

The Collatz conjecture is an unsolved conjecture in mathematics. It is named after Lothar Collatz, who first proposed it in 1937. The conjecture is also known as the 3n + 1 conjecture, as the Ulam ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.
