Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Busy Beaver number, or BB(n), represents a mathematical problem that tries to calculate the longest possible run-time of a Turing machine ...

Turing Craft is visual tool for creating Universal Turing machine (UTM) using graphs. It supports Web and Desktop. Design, simulate, and explore the behavior of Turing machines.

Most people know that the famous Turing Test, a thought experiment conceived by computer pioneer Alan Turing, is a popular measure of progress in artificial intelligence. Many mistakenly assume, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The world of mathematics is full of unreachable corners, where unsolvable problems live. Now, yet another has been exposed. In 1900, the ...

Quanta Magazine Articles on Turing machines In math and computer science, researchers have long understood that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now physicists are exploring how even ...

Modern AI systems have fulfilled Alan Turing’s vision by learning from experience and passing the Turing Test. However, a recent paper stresses their divergence from Turing’s ideal of energy-efficient ...

Researchers are investigating whether large language models (LLMs) can move beyond language tasks and perform computations that mirror traditional computing systems. The focus has shifted towards ...
