Computation Quotes

A computation is a process that obeys finitely describable rules Picture Quote #1

We live beyond words, as also we live beyond computation and beyond theory Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is no more computation than typing is literature Picture Quote #1

When you zap things with light to build quantum computers, you’re hacking existing systems. You’re hijacking the computation that’s already happening in the universe, just like a hacker takes over someone else’s computer Picture Quote #1

My knowledge of the human psyche is as yet imperfect. Certain areas won’t yield to computation Picture Quote #1

Some things, like the orbits of the planets, can be calculated far into the future. But that’s atypical. In most contexts, there is a limit. Even the most fine-grained computation can only forecast British weather a few days ahead. There are limits to what can ever be learned about the future, however powerful computers become Picture Quote #1

Computation, storage, and communications capacity are in the hands of practically every connected person - and these are the basic physical capital means necessary for producing information, knowledge and culture, in the hands of something like 600 million to a billion people around the planet Picture Quote #1

The term, information at your fingertips, is to remind people what a broad role the personal computer will be playing. It’s not a computation device, it’s not a word processing or a spreadsheet device. It’s a window onto the world of information Picture Quote #1

Imagination is actually a form of computation. Imagination gives calculated and instinctive solutions for the future Picture Quote #1

Computer scientists have so far worked on developing powerful programming languages that make it possible to solve the technical problems of computation. Little effort has gone toward devising the languages of interaction Picture Quote #1

If you think of your life as a kind of computation, it’s quite abundantly clear that there’s not going to be a final answer and there won’t be anything particularly wonderful about having the computation halt! Picture Quote #1

We have lived through the flood time of fascism and of the nazism which ran its meteoric course at a cost to mankind in suffering and waste beyond all computation Picture Quote #1

Probability is not a mere computation of odds on the dice or more complicated variants; it is the acceptance of the lack of certainty in our knowledge and the development of methods for dealing with our ignorance Picture Quote #1

When the idea of any pleasure strikes your imagination, make a just computation between the duration of the pleasure and that of the repentance that is likely to follow it Picture Quote #1

I have not proved that the universe is, in fact, a digital computer and that it’s capable of performing universal computation, but it’s plausible that it is Picture Quote #1

What’s needed now are software technologies that interconnect computing systems, people and data to produce more rapid answers to the questions of science, and to help researchers use computation in the most effective manner Picture Quote #1

Quantum computation is... a distinctively new way of harnessing nature... It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes Picture Quote #1

To me quantum computation is a new and deeper and better way to understand the laws of physics, and hence understanding physical reality as a whole Picture Quote #1

Computation involves going from a question to an answer. Mathematics involves going from an answer to a question Picture Quote #1

The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer Picture Quote #1

The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble. It therefore becomes desirable that approximate practical methods of applying quantum mechanics should be developed, which can lead to an explanation of the main features of complex atomic systems without too much computation Picture Quote #1

My knowledge of the human psyche is as yet imperfect. Certain areas won’t yield to computation Picture Quote #1

All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your view of what computation consists of Picture Quote #1

When the aggregate amount of solid matter transported by rivers in a given number of centuries from a large continent, shall be reduced to arithmetical computation, the result will appear most astonishing to those... not in the habit of reflecting how many of the mightiest of operations in nature are effected insensibly, without noise or disorder Picture Quote #1

At the present time there exist problems beyond our ability to solve, not because of theoretical difficulties, but because of insufficient means of mechanical computation Picture Quote #1
