Programming the Universe: A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes on the Cosmos
Автор:Seth Lloyd Год: 2007 Издание:Vintage Страниц: 256 ISBN: 1400033861 Is the universe actually a giant quantum computer? According to Seth Lloyd, the answer is yes. All interactions between particles in the universe, Lloyd explains, convey not only energy but also information-in other words, particles not only collide, they compute. What is the entire universe computing, ultimately? "Its own dynamical evolution", he says. "As the computation proceeds, reality unfolds". "Programming the Universe", a wonderfully accessible book, presents an original and compelling vision of reality, revealing our world in an entirely new light.
