Description:
Boulder, CO.: Perseus Books, 1990. Classic advanced text explores not only the connections between quantum and classical physics, information and its transfer, computation, and their significance for the formulation of physical theories, but it also considers the origins evolution of the information-processing entities, their complexity, and the manner in which they analyze their perceptions to form models of the Universe. Topics covered include: physics of information and computation; laws of physics and computation; complexity and evolution; probability, entropy and quantum; quantum theory and measurement; theory of dynamical systems; and the interconnections between quantum and classical physics. 530 pp. Illustrated.. First Edition. Hard Cover. New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
