Seth Lloyd quotes
" A typical state of the ultimate laptop's memory looks like a plasma at a billion degrees Kelvin - like a thermonuclear explosion or a little piece of the Big Bang! "

Seth Lloyd
" According to the standard model billions of years ago some little quantum fluctuation, perhaps a slightly lower density of matter, maybe right where we're sitting right now, caused our galaxy to start collapsing around here. "

Seth Lloyd
" All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your view of what computation consists of. "

Seth Lloyd
" Another feature that everybody notices about the universe is that it's complex. "

Seth Lloyd
" At some point, Moore's law will break down. "

Seth Lloyd
" But there is no particular reason why Moore's law should continue to hold: it is a law of human ingenuity, not of nature. "

Seth Lloyd
" Clearly, packaging issues alone make it unlikely that this limit can be obtained, even setting aside the difficulties of stability and control. "

Seth Lloyd
" Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs. "

Seth Lloyd
" Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if you like, processes that information. "

Seth Lloyd
" I build quantum computers that store information on individual atoms and then massage the normal interactions between the atoms to make them compute. "

Seth Lloyd
" I have not proved that the universe is, in fact, a digital computer and that it's capable of performing universal computation, but it's plausible that it is. "

Seth Lloyd
" I would suggest, merely as a metaphor here, but also as the basis for a scientific program to investigate the computational capacity of the universe, that this is also a reasonable explanation for why the universe is complex. "

Seth Lloyd
" If you take a more Darwinian point of view the dynamics of the universe are such that as the universe evolved in time, complex systems arose out of the natural dynamics of the universe. "

Seth Lloyd
" If you trace that randomness down, you find that that randomness is actually arising from little quantum fluctuations, which masquerade as thermal and chemical fluctuations. "

Seth Lloyd
" If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available. "
