Turing machines are widely believed to be universal, in the sense that any computation done by any system can also be done by a Turing machine. In a new article, researchers present their work ...

The Church-Turing limit restricts all current computation, including quantum computers, to rational number computation. This is because quantum computer designs (still not scalable even with high ...

A mathematical model of computation. Named after English scientist Alan Turing, a Turing machine is a finite state machine that reads a tape divided into cells. The Turing machine examines the symbol ...

Parallel computing has become a bedrock in the HPC field, where applications are becoming increasingly complex and such compute-intensive technologies as data analytics, deep learning and artificial ...

A proof made public today illustrates that Stephen Wolfram's 2,3 Turing machine number 596440 is a universal Turing machine, and it has netted a University of Birmingham undergraduate $25,000. In 1936 ...

Vice reports that scientists have created the first known “chemical Turing machine,” meaning a liquid that can do the calculations that define a classic computer science standard. Juan Pérez-Mercader ...

Turing machines were first proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1936, and are a theoretical mathematical model of what it means for a system to "be a computer." At a high level, these ...
