Physicists and computer scientists have recently expanded the modern theory of the thermodynamics of computation. By combining approaches from statistical physics and computer science, the researchers ...

The Theory of Computation explores the fundamental capabilities and limits of computing processes. It encompasses models such as finite automata, push-down machines and Turing machines, which ...

Northwestern CS had a strong presence at the Twenty-Third Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Economics and Computation (EC'22), held July 11-15 at the University of Colorado ...

Approaching limitations of digital computing technologies have spurred research in neuromorphic and other unconventional approaches to computing. Here we argue that if we want to engineer ...

This advanced topics seminar explores the many parallels between the science of law and the science of computation. Both fields require understanding outcomes produced by the interpretation of written ...
