In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

Theory of Computation offers a rigorous mathematical framework that underpins our understanding of what can be computed and how efficiently these computations may be performed. It encompasses ...

It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced ...

According to Dr. Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor at UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, and his international ...

A new mathematical proof debunks simulation theory, showing our universe can’t be reduced to computation. Scientists reveal ...

These prospects excite me as a theoretical physicist too, but my colleagues and I are captivated by an even bigger picture. The quantum theory of computation originated as a way to deepen our ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...
