Computability theory establishes which problems can in principle be solved by mechanical procedures, formalised by the Turing machine model and its equivalents. It draws a firm boundary between ...

A leader in the field of computational theory is the latest winner of the A. M. Turing Award, sometimes described as the ‘Nobel Prize’ of computer science. Avi Wigderson at the Institute for Advanced ...

The basic mathematics of quantum mechanics will be reviewed for application to quantum computation. Classical physical computation (not with digital circuits) will be discussed, in particular ...

Nobel laureate economist Richard Thaler famously quipped: People aren’t dumb, the world is hard. Indeed, we routinely encounter problems in our everyday lives that feel complex – from choosing the ...

Imagine you’re on a quest to understand the very nature of computation. You’re deep in the wilderness, far from any paths, and inscrutable messages are carved into the trunks of trees all around you — ...

The research team of Assistant Professor Miyaji of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology has developed a self-interference ...

Computer scientist Lance Fortnow writes that by embracing the computations that surround us, we can begin to understand and tame our seemingly random world. Bohr: Algebra is like sheet music. The ...
