SUMMARY:Computation\, Dynamics\, Evidence\, and Experience: Quantum Comput
 ing Colloquium - Charlie Bennett (Variously Principal Scientist\, Fellow\,

DESCRIPTION:Like other parts of mathematics\, information and computation 
 theory originated as abstractions of experience\, but their 20th century f
 ounders left behind\, as mere physics\, important thermodynamic and quantu
 m ideas whose subsequent incorporation has greatly enriched the mathematic
 al theory.  Aside from its internal elegance\, the new theory provides a d
 eeper understanding of natural phenomena\, such as how thermodynamicdisequ
 ilibrium enables the emergence of classical phenomenology from quantum law
 s\, and the subsequent emergence of "logically deep" structures\, containi
 ng internal evidence of a nontrivial history.
