The design of materials guided by computation is expected to lead to the discovery of new materials, reduction of materials development time and cost, and the rapid evolution of new materials into ...

Theory of Computation offers a rigorous mathematical framework that underpins our understanding of what can be computed and how efficiently these computations may be performed. It encompasses ...

The Center for Computation and Theory of Soft Materials (CCTSM) enables faculty and students to work together to design new soft materials for energy storage and conversion, molecular electronics, and ...

This course gives an introduction to the mathematical foundations of computation. The course will look at Turing machines, universal computation, the Church-Turing thesis, the halting problem and ...

New Theory Of Visual Computation Reveals How Brain Makes Sense Of Natural Scenes Date: November 20, 2008 Source: Carnegie Mellon University Summary: Computational neuroscientists have developed a ...

Wolpert says that one of the primary motivations for a general thermodynamic theory of computation is to find new ways to reduce the energy consumption of real-world machines.

The Church-Turing limit restricts all current computation, including quantum computers, to rational number computation. This is because quantum computer designs (still not scalable even with high ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a ...

These prospects excite me as a theoretical physicist too, but my colleagues and I are captivated by an even bigger picture. The quantum theory of computation originated as a way to deepen our ...
