Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.

Some computers are easy to spot. Artificial, human-built computers like those found in smartphones and laptops are abstract ...

Imagine you’re on a quest to understand the very nature of computation. You’re deep in the wilderness, far from any paths, and inscrutable messages are carved into the trunks of trees all around you — ...

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 research team of Assistant Professor Miyaji of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology has developed a self-interference ...

The basic mathematics of quantum mechanics will be reviewed for application to quantum computation. Classical physical computation (not with digital circuits) will be discussed, in particular ...

Computer scientist Lance Fortnow writes that by embracing the computations that surround us, we can begin to understand and tame our seemingly random world. Bohr: Algebra is like sheet music. The ...

Our research area encompasses the study of computation, computational models, computational complexity, algorithm design, algorithm verification, combinatorial optimization, computational biology and ...
