Physicists and computer scientists have recently expanded the modern theory of the thermodynamics of computation. By combining approaches from statistical physics and computer science, the researchers ...

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 small group physicists today is working on a ...

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 ...

In conventional computing, we can draw a clean line between software and hardware. In brains, there is no such separation of different scales. In the brain, everything influences everything else, from ...

Cluster computing is a method of setting up multiple computers so they can work together like a single system. Some cluster systems are massive machines that take up space in data centers. Others are ...
