Quantum Computing: A Way to Break Complexity?

2003

The perception of time is given by the happening of some events that determines a variation in the state of the observed system. In this sense a computation, i.e. a set of well defined transformations that, starting from an initial state (the input) brings to a final state (the output), can be considered a time generator. Each ticking of the clock corresponds to the computer changes of its states. The speed of computation leads to a different perception of time as well as traveling by airplanes changed the perception of spatial distances.
