Physics and computation / Armond Duwell.
Duwell, Armond| Call Number | 530.0285 |
| Author | Duwell, Armond, author. |
| Title | Physics and computation / Armond Duwell. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (73 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Cambridge elements. Elements in the philosophy of physics, 2632-413X |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 31 Aug 2021). |
| Summary | This Element has three main aims. First, it aims to help the reader understand the concept of computation that Turing developed, his corresponding results, and what those results indicate about the limits of computational possibility. Second, it aims to bring the reader up to speed on analyses of computation in physical systems which provide the most general characterizations of what it takes for a physical system to be a computational system. Third, it aims to introduce the reader to some different kinds of quantum computers, describe quantum speedup, and present some explanation sketches of quantum speedup. If successful, this Element will equip the reader with a basic knowledge necessary for pursuing these topics in more detail. |
