Is the universe actually a giant quantum computer? According to Seth Lloyd, the answer is yes.
All interactions between particles in the universe, Lloyd explains, convey not only energy but also information–in other words, particles not only collide, they compute. What is the entire universe computing, ultimately? “Its own dynamical evolution,” he says. “As the computation proceeds, reality unfolds.” Programming the Universe, a wonderfully accessible book, presents an original and compelling vision of reality, revealing our world in an entirely new light.

Seth Lloyd是個一流的科學傢,但在科普上還欠點功夫

評分基本上沒有超過他在書中提到的David Deutsch的the fabric of reality中的思想。他反對Deutsch的multiverse model,我特意查瞭查他和Deutsch的辯論,感覺還是Deutsch的更令人信服。Lloyd隻是argue on semantics. 不過最後一章關於the future的討論還是挺有趣的,未來的生物需要變得expand to grab more energy, since the energy density is lower and lower。最後他還提到瞭quantum computation as a path to quantum gravity雖然我不是很懂這一塊,本書講解的很突兀。
