Improving assurance of high-consequence systems using formal methods and automated reasoning 
News Article, July 14, 2025 • Error from imperfect computer representations of numbers when visualizing a sphere at 1km and 20,000km distance from an observer. Computers typically represent numbers one of two ways: fixed-point (via integers) and floating-point numbers. Floating point provides improved efficiency and productivity, but errors can accumulate if not managed carefully. Error from...

Using the power of “super-small” to solve large-scale scientific problems
News Article, October 13, 2022 • Sandia builds a testbed for powerful quantum computing hardware and scientific applications. Try this thought experiment: imagine a small measurable quantity of something—perhaps a grain of sand or a point of light—then cut it in half, again and again. When you reach the smallest quantity, such as a photon of...
