Science/Engineering Feynman And Computation: Exploring The Limits Of Computers (The advanced book program): Anthony J.G. Hey

More Feynman And Computation: Exploring The Limits Of Computers (The advanced book program): Anthony J.G. Hey Richard P. Feynman made profoundly important and prescient contributions to the physics of computing, notably with his seminal articles “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom” and “Simulating Physics with Computers.” These two provocative papers (both reprinted in this volume) anticipated, decades before their time, several breakthroughs that have since become fields of science in their own left, such as nanotechnology and the newest, perhaps most exciting area of physics and computer science, quantum computing.The contributors to this book are all distinguished physicists and computer scientists, and many of them were guest lecturers in Feynman's famous CalTech course on the limits of computers. they include Charles Bennett on Quantum Information Theory, Geoffrey Fox on Internetics, Norman Margolus on Crystalline Computation, and Tommaso Toffoli on the Fungibility of Computation.Both a tribute to Feynman and a new exploration of the limits of computers by some of today's most influential scientists, Feynman and Computation continues the pioneering work started by Feynman and published by him in his own Lectures on Computation. This new computation volume consists of both original chapters and reprints of classic papers by leaders in the field. Feynman and Computation will generate great interest from the scientific community and provide essential background for further work in this field. Summary: Plenty of interesting articles Rating: 5 I know I'm not supposed to discuss other reviews, but I would like to point out that the previous review is for a different book! It is for the Feynman Lectures on Computation! And that is an excellent book which is very useful (although probably insufficient) for anyone taking (or teaching) a class on the theory of computation. This book is quite different. It's a collection of intriguing articles, as well as some reminiscences about Richard Feynman. Feynman had a tendency to tell fascinating stories. It was part and parcel of his style. And it's generally fun to see more of his stories and more stories about him. The book is divided into five parts. The first is related to the Feynman course on computation. It includes a nice article on neural networks by John Hopfield (I wish some of this material had been put into the "lectures on computation" book!). And an interesting article showing that the motion of Pluto is chaotic. The next section is on reducing the size of computers, which includes scaling of MOS technology and theoretical limits on size reduction. After that comes the "quantum" section. That has an article by Feynman on simulating physics with computers, followed by rather instructive articles on quantum robots, quantum information theory, and quantum computation. The fourth section is on parallel computation. And the final section is on "fundamentals." This includes an article by John A. Wheeler (Feynman's thesis advisor at Princeton) who asks what quantum physics and information theory can tell us about the question, "How come existence?" I enjoyed this book very much. Summary: Feynman is...well, Feynman Rating: 5 I ordered this book, not knowing what to expect...whether it would be aimed at a general audience or (like his Physics Lectures) something even professionals have to work hard to master. As I started reading it my first reaction was, groan, I've been programming for over fifteen years and this is definitely for total beginners. He gives a brief introduction, a "file clerk model" and then introduces "instruction sets". With his first exercise you begin to realize this is not going to be bedside reading. If you try to think the problems through it is definitely uphill, but once you get to the peaks the sight is exhilarating... This book is demanding but ranks among the best to have come out in a long time (but then I happen to like the three major aspects of the book, math, physics and computer science so maybe I am just a bit biased).
