Specifikacia Feynman Lectures on Computation
The last lecture course that Nobel Prize winner Richard P. Feynman gave to students at Caltech from 1983 to 1986 was not on physics but on computer science. The first edition of the Feynman Lectures on Computation, published in 1996, provided an overview of standard and not-so-standard topics in computer science given in Feynman's inimitable style. Although now over 20 years old, most of the material is still relevant and interesting, andFeynman's unique philosophy of learning and discovery shines through.For this new edition, Tony Hey has updated the lectures with an invited chapter from Professor John Preskill on "Quantum Computing 40 YearsLater". This contribution captures the progress made toward building a quantum computer since Feynman's original suggestions in 1981. The last 25 years have also seen the
