Algorithms are turning up in the most unlikely places, promising to assert mathematical probability into corners of our lives where intuition, instinct and hunches have long held sway.

Making the real-world connection, the guide then walks programmers through implementing the algorithms on IBM's publicly available 5-qubit IBMQX4 quantum computer and others.

Scientists have different ideas of how to prevent that Traditional computer algorithms tend to show bias in favor of men when they use entrance exam scores to predict a student’s college grades.

Right now, [Kory]’s computer that can program itself only does so by creating simple ‘hello world’ programs.
