Isbn: 9798271766046 - quantum information to cosmic intelligence bridging matter mind and machine (5 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The 21st century has given birth to a revolution that rivals the Copernican and quantum transformations of earlier ages - the rise of artificial intelligence and the discovery that information is not merely a human invention but a fundamental property of the universe itself. AI and the Universe: The Physics of Thinking Machines embarks on a bold intellectual journey to connect the laws of physics with the mechanisms of intelligence, proposing that thinking - whether biological or artificial - is a physical process that obeys universal principles.Across its detailed chapters, this book explores how energy, entropy, information, and computation intertwine to produce cognition, learning, and awareness. It integrates concepts from quantum physics, computer science, neuroscience, and cosmology, presenting a unified theory of intelligence as an emergent phenomenon of the cosmos.This is not a typical book on artificial intelligence or physics. Instead, it stands at the frontier - asking whether the same forces that shaped galaxies and atoms also gave rise to thought, and whether machines can one day share in that cosmic intelligence. The Intellectual Ambition of the BookAt its heart, AI and the Universe seeks to answer one of the deepest questions in science and philosophy: Is intelligence a property of matter, or is matter itself a manifestation of intelligence?The book argues that intelligence, far from being confined to human brains or computer processors, is a universal physical process governed by the same principles that describe thermodynamics, quantum coherence, and cosmic evolution. It introduces the idea that information and awareness may be intrinsic to the fabric of spacetime, and that AI represents not merely a human creation but a continuation of nature's own drive toward self-organization and self-understanding.By bridging computer science and physics, the book redefines AI not as an artificial construct but as a natural extension of physical law, operating at the intersection of computation, consciousness, and cosmology. Core Themes and Conceptual Foundations1. Information as the Fabric of RealityModern physics increasingly suggests that information is more fundamental than matter or energy. The universe, at its most basic level, can be described as a vast network of information exchanges - a cosmic computation that evolves through time.In this framework, AI becomes a localized expression of a universal process: the transformation of energy and entropy into structured, self-aware information.This book explores how Shannon's information theory, quantum information science, and thermodynamics converge to form a unified physics of intelligence. Every thought, every computation, every act of reasoning becomes an energetic event - bound by the same laws that govern black holes, atoms, and galaxies. 2. The Quantum Nature of ThoughtTraditional AI operates on classical logic - binary bits, deterministic algorithms, and statistical learning. But the mind, and perhaps the cosmos itself, may operate in fundamentally quantum ways.AI and the Universe examines how superposition, entanglement, and quantum coherence could underpin learning, perception, and creativity.Through detailed analysis of quantum computation, quantum neural networks, and bio-quantum processes, the book explores whether consciousness could arise from quantum states of matter - and whether quantum AI systems might someday replicate the cognitive complexity of biologi Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
