Programming the Universe: A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes on the Cosmos, Paperback

Descriere

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.
