Fundamental physics and computation: The computer-theoretic framework
The central goal of this manuscript is to survey the relationships between fundamental
physics and computer science. We begin by providing a short historical review of how …

Three forms of physical measurement and their computability
We have begun a theory of measurement in which an experimenter and his or her
experimental procedure are modeled by algorithms that interact with physical equipment …

Axiomatizing physical experiments as oracles to algorithms
We developed earlier a theory of combining algorithms with physical systems, on the basis
of using physical experiments as oracles to algorithms. Although our concepts and methods …

An analogue-digital Church-Turing thesis
We argue that dynamical systems involving discrete and continuous data can be modelled
by Turing machines with oracles that are physical processes. Using the theory introduced in …

An analogue-digital model of computation: Turing machines with physical oracles
We introduce an abstract analogue-digital model of computation that couples Turing
machines to oracles that are physical processes. Since any oracle has the potential to boost …

Oracles that measure thresholds: the Turing machine and the broken balance
What can algorithms compute with the help of information provided by an oracle that is a
physical system? We have developed a theory that combines Turing machines with …

A Hierarchy for Based on Counting Calls to an Oracle
Algorithms whose computations involve making physical measurements can be modelled by
Turing machines with oracles that are physical systems and oracle queries that obtain data …

Classifying the computational power of stochastic physical oracles
Consider a computability and complexity theory in which the classical set-theoretic oracle to
a Turing machine is replaced by a physical process, and oracle queries return …

Computations with oracles that measure vanishing quantities
We consider computation with real numbers that arise through a process of physical
measurement. We have developed a theory in which physical experiments that measure …
