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 ...

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 ...

A major advance reveals deep connections between the classes of problems that computers can — and can’t — possibly do. At first glance, the big news coming out of this summer’s conference on the ...

Adiabatic quantum computing An example problem represented by an energy landscape. Each point on the landscape represents a candidate solution. The deepest valley represents the actual solution with ...

The Theory of Computation explores the fundamental capabilities and limits of computing processes. It encompasses models such as finite automata, push-down machines and Turing machines, which ...
