Synchronization scenarios: In the first synchronization scenario (left), there is competition between the effect of small clocks on each other and the effect of the massive wall clock. In the second ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

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 ...

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 ...
