Movie: The Turing Machine Comes True

En 1936, Alan Turing a imaginé un modèle abstrait pour définir une notion qui jusqu’alors était restée intuitive : la calculabilité. Ce modèle est aujourd’hui connu sous le nom de machine de Turing et est toujours utilisé en informatique théorique … Continue reading
Special issue of Nature: ALAN TURING AT 100

Alan Turing, born a century ago this year, is best known for his wartime code-breaking and for inventing the ‘Turing machine’ – the concept at the heart of every computer today. But his legacy extends much further: he founded the … Continue reading
