Unconventional computing is about breaking boundaries in thinking, acting and computing.
Typical topics of this non-typical field include, but are not limited to physics of computation …

A Survey on Analog Models of Computation Page 1 Chapter 6 A Survey on Analog Models of
Computation Olivier Bournez and Amaury Pouly Abstract We present a survey on analog …

We pose the following question: If a physical experiment were to be completely controlled by
an algorithm, what effect would the algorithm have on the physical measurements made …

Using physical experiments as oracles for algorithms, we can characterise the
computational power of classes of physical systems. Here we show that two different …

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 …

Earlier, to explore the idea of combining physical experiments with algorithms, we
introduced a new form of analogue–digital (AD) Turing machine. We examined in detail a …

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 …

Earlier, we have studied computations possible by physical systems and by algorithms
combined with physical systems. In particular, we have analysed the idea of using an …

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 …

We turn the physical Church–Turing Hypothesis from an ambiguous source of sensational
speculations into a (collection of) sound and well-defined scientific problem (s): Examining …
