McHarris).The essays in this book look at the question of whether physics can be based on information, or – as John Wheeler phrased it – whether we can get “It from Bit”.  They are based on the prize-winning essays submitted to the FQXi essay competition of the same name, which drew over 180 entries. The eighteen contributions address topics as diverse as quantum foundations, entropy conservation, nonlinear logic and countable spacetime. Together they provide stimulating reading for all physics aficionados interested in the possible role(s) of information in the laws of nature. The Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi, catalyzes, supports, and disseminates research on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology, particularly new frontiers and innovative ideas integral to a deep understanding of reality, but unlikely to be supported by conventional funding sources.The Frontiers Collection,1612-3018Mathematical physicsPhysicsQuantum computersSpintronicsData structures (Computer science)Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005History and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Quantum Information Technology, Spintronicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070Data Structures and Information Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I15009Quantum Computinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14070Mathematical physics.Physics.Quantum computers.Spintronics.Data structures (Computer science)Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Quantum Information Technology, Spintronics.Data Structures and Information Theory.Quantum Computing.004.1005.74530530.01530.1621.3Aguirre Anthonyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFoster Brendanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMerali Zeeyaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFoundational Questions Institute,BOOK9910741139903321It From Bit or Bit From It1771599UNINA
