EE5340 Physics of Computation (New Course)
Inspired by Richard Feynman’s lectures, “Physics of Computation” explores how physical principles/limits shape paradigms of computing.
Goal: To understand how (and to what extent) a paradigm shift in computing can help with emerging energy problems.
Scope: Physical limits of computing, coding and information theoretical foundations, computing with beyond-CMOS devices, reversible computing,
quantum computing, stochastic computing.
For each computing paradigm, we cover
-
i. how information is represented, processed, stored, and communicated
-
ii. to what extent shortcomings can be addressed
-
iii. how the application domain looks like
