چکیده
Abstract — Tien D. Kieu, in 10 papers posted to the quant-ph section of the xxx.lanl.gov preprint archive [some of which were also published in printed journals such as Proc. Royal Soc. A 460 (2004) 1535] had claimed to have a scheme showing how, in principle, physical “quantum adiabatic systems” could be used to solve the prototypical computationally undecidable problem, Turing’s“halting problem,” in finite time, with success probability > 2/3 (where this 2/3 is independent of the input halting problem).

Hypercomputation: Towards an extension of the classical notion of Computability?
The purpose of this thesis is to make an analysis of the concept of Hypercomputation and of some hypermachines. This thesis is separated in three main parts. We start in the first chapter with an analysis of the concept of Classical Computability with the Turing Machine and the Church-Turing thesis as a main reference and afterwards, in the second chapter, we continue with an analysis of hyperc...
متن کاملQuantum Hypercomputation Based on the Dynamical Algebra Su(1, 1)
An adaptation of Kieu's hypercomputational quantum algorithm (KHQA) is presented. The method that was used was to replace the Weyl-Heisenberg algebra by other dynamical algebra of low dimension that admits infinite-dimensional irreducible representations with naturally defined generalized coherent states. We have selected the Lie algebra su(1, 1), due to that this algebra posses the necessary c...
متن کاملHypercomputation with quantum adiabatic processes
Despite the recursive non-computability of Hilbert’s tenth problem, we outline and argue for a quantum algorithm that is based on the Quantum Adiabatic Theorem. It is explained how this algorithm can solve Hilbert’s tenth problem. The algorithm is then considered in the context of several “no-go” arguments against such hypercomputation. Logical arguments are usually based on Cantor’s diagonal t...
متن کاملQuantum Hypercomputation—Hype or Computation?
A recent attempt to compute a (recursion–theoretic) non–computable function using the quantum adiabatic algorithm is criticized and found wanting. Quantum algorithms may outperform classical algorithms in some cases, but so far they retain the classical (recursion–theoretic) notion of computability. A speculation is then offered as to where the putative power of quantum computers may come from....
متن کاملA possible hypercomputational quantum algorithm
The term ‘hypermachine’ denotes any data processing device (theoretical or that can be implemented) capable of carrying out tasks that cannot be performed by a Turing machine. We present a possible quantum algorithm for a classically non-computable decision problem, Hilbert’s tenth problem; more specifically, we present a possible hypercomputation model based on quantum computation. Our algorit...
