The universe is made of bits. The way in which the universe registers and processes information determines what it is and how it behaves. It has been known for more than a century that every piece of the universe - every electron, atom, and molecule - registers bits of information. It is only in the last ten years, however, with the discovery and development of quantum computer...(展开全部)

Is the universe actually a giant quantum computer? According to Seth Lloyd—Professor of Quantum-Mechanical Engineering at MIT and originator of the first technologically feasible design for a working quantum computer—the answer is yes. This wonderfully accessible book illuminates the professional and personal paths that led him to this remarkable conclusion. All interactions b...(展开全部)

Is the universe actually a giant quantum computer? According to Seth Lloyd, the answer is yes. All interactions between particles in the universe, Lloyd explains, convey not only energy but also information–in other words, particles not only collide, they compute. What is the entire universe computing, ultimately? “Its own dynamical evolution,” he says. “As the computat...(展开全部)

👨🏼‍🏫 蒂博·达穆尔（Thibault Damour） 1951年生于里昂，法国理论物理学家，法国高等科学研究院教授，法国科学院院士，以关于黑洞、脉冲星、引力波和量子宇宙的开创性研究而闻名于学术界。他收获了很多奖项，其中包括享有盛誉的爱因斯坦科学奖。 👨‍🎨 马蒂厄·布尔尼亚（Mathieu Burniat） 1984年生于布鲁塞尔，很年轻时就痴迷于图像艺术，2007年获得比利时康布尔国立视觉艺术高等学校的工业设计文凭。

斯蒂芬・霍金（ Stephen Hawking），著名的理论物理学家和宇宙学家，他于1942年1月8日出生于英国牛津，这一天正好是伽利略逝世300周年。8岁时，因父亲工作的原因而举家搬迁至伦敦以北20公里的小镇艾尔本斯，他在当地完成中学教育后，进人牛津大学主修物理。后来在夏玛（Dennis Sciama）的指导下，取得剑桥大学博士学位，1974年，成为皇家学院当时最年轻的院士。1979年，接任剑桥大学的卢卡斯数学讲座教授。（此头衔象征着无上的学术地位数学家艾萨克・贝罗是第一任，其弟子牛顿接任他为第二任，霍金为第17任。） 霍金主要的学术成就包括“霍金辐射”与“无边界宇宙模型”。目前，他所领导的剑桥大学的应用数学与理论物理系的“相对论与重力”小组，除了研究他所研究的早期宇宙外，也包括宇宙演化至今的现象，并参与了欧洲太空总署的普朗克探测卫星的计划。
