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...
متن کاملComputation, hypercomputation, and physical science
Copeland and others have argued that the Church-Turing thesis (CTT) has been widely misunderstood by philosophers and cognitive scientists. In particular, they have claimed that CTT is in principle compatible with the existence of machines that compute functions above the “Turing limit,” and that empirical investigation is needed to determine the “exact membership” of the set of functions that ...
متن کاملQuantum computation and physical law
Forty years ago, when computers began to enter the academic and commercial world, researchers asked what types of problems could forseeably be solved on them. As computers were improved from year to year, it was clear that this question must be couched in a suitably abstract framework. Soon, the computer scientist Jack Edmonds and others had focused on what we still consider the most essential ...
متن کاملQuantum Computation Computation Is a Physical Process !
As computers become faster they must become smaller because of the niteness of the speed of light. The history of computer technology has involved a sequence of changes from one type of physical realisation to another-from gears to relays to valves to transistors to integrated circuits and so on. Quantum mechanics is already important in the design of microelectronic components. Soon it will be...
متن کاملPhysical Limits to Computation
Computers and clocks are physical systems. As such, they must obey the laws of physics. [1] Here we show that both the speed with which a computer can process information and the amount of information that it can process are limited by the input power. In particular, their product is bounded by a universal constant. As a prelude, we show that the maximum time that a clock remains accurate is li...
