Quantum Computers or Molecular Computers. The background is the need for better performing computers in applications which require an extremely high parallelism or a special behaviour such as the simulation of quantum systems. Examples include the design of a turbine with about 100 parts; a realistic simulation of say only 40 electrons in a solid; and the search for the shortest telephone line that connects 100 cities scattered over a country. These require calculations that are far beyond the power of conventional computers! This exciting book provides the first overview of, and introduction, to the chemical, biological and physical non-standard computation concepts which promise to solve these problems by a massive parallelism and a clever use of other effects: molecular and quantum computers, and genetic algorithms.; Written on a scientific level, it is an up-to-date information source for scientists and graduate students working in the field in physics, chemistry, computer and life sciences, as well as interested readers with a scientific background. |
