Computation In Quantum Space-Time Could Lead To A Super-Polynomial Speedup, Vladik Kreinovich, Michael Zakharevich
Computation In Quantum Space-Time Could Lead To A Super-Polynomial Speedup, Vladik Kreinovich, Michael Zakharevich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
In theoretical computer science, researchers usually distinguish between feasible problems (that can be solved in polynomial time) and problems that require more computation time. A natural question is: can we use new physical processes, processes that have not been used in modern computers, to make computations drastically faster -- e.g., to make intractable problems feasible? Such a possibility would occur if a physical process provides a super-polynomial (= faster than polynomial) speed-up.
In this direction, the most active research is undertaken in quantum computing. It is well known that quantum processes can drastically speed up computations; however, there are no …
Square Root Of "Not": A Major Difference Between Fuzzy And Quantum Logics, Vladik Kreinovich, Ladislav J. Kohout, Eunjin Kim
Square Root Of "Not": A Major Difference Between Fuzzy And Quantum Logics, Vladik Kreinovich, Ladislav J. Kohout, Eunjin Kim

Many authors have mentioned the similarity between quantum logic and fuzzy logic. In this paper, we show that, in spite of this similarity, these logics are not identical. Specifically, we emphasize that while quantum logic has a special ``square root of not'' operation which is very useful in quantum computing, fuzzy logic lacks such an operation.

One of the main potential applications of uncertainty in computations is quantum computing. In this paper, we show that the success of quantum computing can be explained by the fact that quantum states are, in effect, tensors.

Proceedings of the International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Semiotics (ISAS'97), National Institute of Standards and Technology Publ., Gaithersburg, MD, 1997, pp. 383-388.
Nowadays, we are using mainly computer of fourth generation, and we are designing fifth-generation computers. It is reasonable to ask: what is the perspective? What will the computers of generation omega look like?
--As the speed of data processing increases, we face a natural limitation of causality, according to which the speed of all processes is limited by the speed of light.
--Lately, a new area of acausal (causality violating) processes has entered mainstream physics.
