All are invited to attend. We are interested in the possibility that quantum systems, such as molecules, store and process information. As a first step in exploring this, we introduce a class of quantum finite-state automata. To illustrate the power of these models we analyze several prototype quantum dynamical system, emphasizing the difference between physical and computation-theoretic views of quantum behavior. The quantum automaton analysis reveals structure in behavior that the physical description fails to detect. We also compare the relative generative capabilities of quantum and classical systems. This seminar is part of CSE's ongoing Science of Complex Systems Seminar Series.
