Is bio-inspired Random pulse computing better than Quantum computing?

Space of possible problems is huge. Only a few can be efficiently solved by Digital computing (DC). We know that a further fistfull of problems can be efficiently solved by Quantum computing (QC)....

Is there a classical trajectory that an electron could assume and mimic quantum solution of ground state of hydrogen?

We are pretty uncomfortable with quantum non-locality in entanglement. But what about other uncomfortable solutions of quantum mechanics, are we comfortable with them? For example, we know that...

What is stochastic resonance, what it does and why it works?

I have seen this effect in a camera and thought I am just imagining it. Trying to find some definition of this effect I found a couple of almost mystical articles, without a shred of mathematical...

Is there a functional relationship between cross-correlation of two vectors and their mutual information, at least under some assumption(s)?

By definitions, the normalized cross-correlation is a number between -1 and 1 while the mutual information is a number between 0 and 1. It is striking that (at least that is my feeling) the two...

What type of signals does the cochlear send to the brain?

I have read many papers and consult several books but one piece of information cannot be found. Imagine normal human ear is exposed to 1 kHz sine sound that causes normal audible loudness of say...

How are nerve pulses related to the force exerted by a muscle?

Is it correct to say that frequency, rather than amplitide, of nerve pulses regulates the force (measured in Newtons) delivered by a muscle? What is the relation between frequency of pulses and...

Can there be (2-particle) entanglement without (true) randomness?

A distinguishing characteristic of an ensemble of entangled 2-particle states (aka EPR pairs) is that they would collectively violate Bell inequality. But to violate Bell inequality one must test...

Do COVID-19 times result in less experimental work yet higher production of scientific papers?

I noticed a strange anti-correlation. 1) in times of COVID-19 most experimentalists are either banned from entering their labs or is their experimental work reduced to a couple of hours per week...

What limits the size of the number that can be factorized on a quantum computer?

It is widely claimed, without any hesitation or disclaimer, that quantum computers (QC) can (or well, will be soon able to) break cryptography by factorizing large numbers. However, to my...

Artificial intelligence and artificial stupidity

And what exactly are artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial stupidity (AS)? How do they differ from natural ones?

Sustainability, green technologies, garbage sorting, electric cars, healthy water, CO2, and climate changes

Is it only me, or others feel too that green technologies, in fact, lead to a dramatic increase in pollution (in general, not only CO2 or other favorite "polutant of the day")? If someone tells...

Can a practical quantum computer really factor arbitrary composite large numbers, or is it an urban myth?

In Shor's factorization of number N=pq, the first step is to build ~log2(N) independent qubits, each an equal superposition of 0 and 1 states and use them to make a tensor product equivalent of ~N...

Is there a relation between Randomness and Free will?

Does Randomness exist or is an illusion? Did God have any choice in whether to create/allow Randomness or not? Is there any connection between Free will and Randomness?

Stochastic computing in Artificial Intelligence?

Conventional AI makes use of neural networks which are mostly realized in normal microprocessors, such as used in PC computers, that is on von Neumann architecture. It could be said that, in...

What is stochastic computing best at? Are there applications in which it performs better than digital computing or quantum copmutnig?

Stochastic (aka random-pulse) computer, uses time-wise random pulses, much alike those found in human brain. In the past decade it has been shown that it can be efficiently implemented in...

Is prupose of Artificial Intelligence to replace youth (young people)?

I is no secret that hunmans are procreating very fast: the number of people on Earth has more than tripled in my lifetime and I still plan to be around for one more turnover. The real problem is...

Could quantum mechanics exist without entanglement? Is it necessary?

We already know that classical (Newtonian, deterministic) physics canot be a theory of anything because it leads to the utraviolet catastrophy, that is to infinity. To avoid infnity we must...
