Super Turing Machines may obsolete Turing limited quantum computation because they have infinitely more degrees of problem solving freedom. The Turing limit, defined by Dr. Alan Turing in 1936 ...

Empowered by artificial intelligence technologies, computers today can engage in convincing conversations with people, compose songs, paint paintings, play chess and go, and diagnose diseases, to name ...

Automata Theory: The branch of computation theory that studies abstract machines and the problems they can solve. Turing Machine: An abstract computational model that manipulates symbols on a tape ...

Computational scientist and mathematician Avi Wigderson of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton has won the 2023 A.M. Turing Award. The prize, which is given annually by the Association ...

The prolific researcher found deep connections between randomness and computation and spent a career influencing cryptographers, complexity researchers and more. For more than 40 years, Avi Wigderson ...

The quest to find the cost of running a Turing machine began with Wolpert trying to use information theory -- the quantification, storage, and communication of information -- to formalize how ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Algorithms have become ubiquitous. They optimize our commutes, process payments, and coordinate the flow of internet traffic. It seems ...

Self-replication is one of the fundamental aspects of computing where a program or a system may duplicate, evolve and mutate. Our point of view is that Kleene's (second) recursion theorem is essential ...
