[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
In this metaphor we actually have a picture of the computational universe, a metaphor which I hope to make scientifically precise as… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
The primary consequence of the computational nature of the universe is that the universe naturally generates complex systems, such as life. Although… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Another feature that everybody notices about the universe is that it's complex. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
I would suggest, merely as a metaphor here, but also as the basis for a scientific program to investigate the computational capacity… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
We have a picture for how complexity arises, because if the universe is computationally capable, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised that… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
We couldn't build quantum computers unless the universe were quantum and computing. We can build such machines because the universe is storing… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
One of the things that I've been doing recently in my scientific research is to ask this question: Is the universe actually… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
If you take a more Darwinian point of view the dynamics of the universe are such that as the universe evolved in… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Science has an uncomfortable way of pushing human beings from center stage. In our prescientific stories, humans began as the focal point… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
I have not proved that the universe is, in fact, a digital computer and that it's capable of performing universal computation, but… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
When you zap things with light to build quantum computers, you're hacking existing systems. You're hijacking the computation that's already happening in… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
“The significance of a bit depends not just on its value but on how that value affects other bits over time, as part of… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
In this metaphor we actually have a picture of the computational universe, a metaphor which I hope to make scientifically precise as part of… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Yes, I am a quantum mechanic! Those darn quantum computers break all the time. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
When it comes to their capacity to screw things up, computers are becoming more human every day. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
It's also a reasonable scientific program to look at the dynamics of the standard model and to try to prove from that dynamics that… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Some folks think life and technology and mind can keep expanding forever. Others say it can't. We are still not clear on that. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
