Course objectives
The course introduces a selection of computing media and platforms (mostly in an experimental phase) alternative to the recent silicon computer technology. This technology is reaching its physical limitations and alternative computing approaches are sought.
Syllabus
  • 1. Abstract computing classes, Turing Machine with oracle and advice, the problem P versus NP, possible strategies of solution of computationally intractable problems.
    2. Why do we need new computing media? Problems of the recent technologies concepts of computing.
    3. Quantum computing, bits and qubits, reversibility of computing. Quantum gates and networks, quantum algorithms, quantum parallelism.
    4. Deutsch problem XOR, Shore factorization algorithm. The problem of decoherency. The performance of quantum algorithms.
    5. DNA computing, elementary properties of DNA. The PCR reaction, denaturation and hybridization, cutting and pasting, separation of molecules with the use of gel electrophoresis.
    6. Computing based on recombination and on cutting/pasting. Two- and three-dimensional DNA structures. Possible applications in medicine and nanotechnologies.
    7. Further biologically and chemically inspired computing models. Abstract chemical machine, membrane computing.
    8. Evolutionary computing, interactive finite automata and interactive Turing machine. Evolutionary lineages of cognitive automata and their performance.
