متن کاملBeyond Bits: The Future of Quantum Information Processing
38 Computer Beyond Bits: The Future of Quantum Information Processing T oday's computers, for all their marvels, operate on the same fundamental principle as the mechanical devices dreamed up by Charles Babbage in the 19th century and later formalized by Alan Turing: One stable state of the machine represents one number. Even seemingly non-standard computation models, such as the one based on D...
متن کاملPositional information, in bits.
Cells in a developing embryo have no direct way of "measuring" their physical position. Through a variety of processes, however, the expression levels of multiple genes come to be correlated with position, and these expression levels thus form a code for "positional information." We show how to measure this information, in bits, using the gap genes in the Drosophila embryo as an example. Indivi...
متن کاملHypernetwork Model of Biological Information Processing
A hierarchical architecture for information processing, the hypernetwork model, has recently been implemented. This is a three level model, inspired by biological systems, that includes representation of scale, vertical flow of information, and feedback control. All interactions are based on complementary relationships between molecular subunits. The system is molded to perform desired tasks th...
متن کاملBiological information processing requires quantum logic.
Chaos dynamics, which characterizes biological information processing, generates information along the course of temporal development of the relevant system. In this system, the macroscopic uncertainty principle holds between observation time delta t and phase space volume delta omega determined by this observation. In other words delta t and delta omega cannot simultaneously be small. This pri...
