Computation: a Fundamental Physical View Computation: a Fundamental Physical View

A 0 3 3 C v 2 C v C O-Attempts to understand the fundamental physical limits of computation have been under way for over a quarter century. We discuss this field, with B e 3 3 3 S 3 S 0 emphasis on the central notion of reversible computation, and emphasis on the relationship to the ultimate nature of physical law. A brief discussion of the generation of information is included. In ordinary com...

Fundamental physics with LISA

LISA has the potential to make observations that probe deeply into fundamental physics. Not only will it test to exquisite precision the general relativity model for gravitational radiation, but will also test strong-field gravity and in particular the proposition that all black holes are described by the Kerr metric. More research is needed, however, on how to quantify the theoretical meaning ...

Biblioranking fundamental physics

We propose measures of the impact of research that improve on existing ones such as counting of number of papers, citations and h-index. Since different papers and different fields have largely different average number of co-authors and of references we replace citations with individual citations, shared among co-authors. Next, we improve on citation counting applying the PageRank algorithm to ...

Computation and Fundamental Physics

No matter how you slice it, computers have changed our lives. When we say this, what immediately comes to mind is the way in which ubiquitous computer technology has transformed our communicating, working, playing, and (witness online dating sites) even our loving.Another interpretation of “how computers have changed our lives” is the possibility that computation itself is essential to even def...
