A proof made public today illustrates that Stephen Wolfram's 2,3 Turing machine number 596440 is a universal Turing machine, and it has netted a University of Birmingham undergraduate $25,000. In 1936 ...
One of the great challenges of neuroscience is to understand the short-term working memory in the human brain. At the same time, computer scientists would dearly love to reproduce the same kind of ...
For something that has been around since the 1930s and is so foundational to computer science, you’d think that the Turing machine, an abstraction for mechanical computation, would be easily ...
This month is the 75th anniversary of the Turing Test, which Alan Turing introduced to the world in his paper, “Computing ...
We’ll beat everyone to the punch: yes, actually building a working Turing machine, especially one that uses a Raspberry Pi, is probably something that would have pushed [Alan Turing]’s buttons, and ...
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 ...
