Unconventional Computation Including Quantum Computation, Bruce J. Maclennan
Unconventional Computation Including Quantum Computation, Bruce J. Maclennan
Faculty Publications and Other Works -- EECS
Unconventional computation (or non-standard computation) refers to the use of non-traditional technologies and computing paradigms. As we approach the limits of Moore’s Law, progress in computation will depend on going beyond binary electronics and on exploring new paradigms and technologies for information processing and control. This book surveys some topics relevant to unconventional computation, including the definition of unconventional computations, the physics of computation, quantum computation, DNA and molecular computation, and analog computation. This book is the content of a course taught at UTK.
