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

  1. i.  how information is represented, processed, stored, and communicated

  2. ii.  to what extent shortcomings can be addressed

  3. iii. how the application domain looks like
