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 ...

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 ...

Alan Turing posed a question in a paper he wrote in 1950: Can machines think? This question and his hypothesis in his paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence would go on to deconstruct the process ...

Graham Farr receives funding from the Australian Research Council. You may have read the British Government is being petitioned to grant a posthumous pardon to one of the world’s greatest ...

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 ...
