For more, seethis blog post of Sean's,... | |

| | | | | Abstract: Machine and language models of computation differ so greatly in the computational complexity properties of their representation that they form two distinct classes that cannot be directly compared in a meaningful way. While machine models are self-contained, the properties of the language models indicate that they require a computationally powerful collaborator, and are better... | |

| | | Is this a record for a quantum computer ? A group of physicists in China have used a process called adiabatic computing to find the prime factors of the number 143, beating the previous record for a quantum computer of 21. However, there are doubts about the quantum nature of this method, and its potential ... | ||
