Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation

• ISBN13: 9780471575184
• Condition: USED – VERY GOOD
• Notes:

“Devices enormously smaller than before will remodel engineering, chemistry, medicine, and computer technology. How can we understand machines that are so small? Nanosystems covers it all: power and strength, friction and wear, thermal noise and quantum uncertainty. This is the book for starting the next century of engineering.” — Marvin Minsky MIT Science magazine calls Eric Drexler “Mr. Nanotechnology.” For years, Drexler has stirred controversy by declaring that molecular nanotechnology will bring a sweeping technological revolution — delivering tremendous advances in miniaturization, materials, computers, and manufacturing of all kinds. Now, he’s written a detailed, top-to-bottom analysis of molecular machinery — how to design it, how to analyze it, and how to build it. Nanosystems is the first scientifically detailed description of developments that will revolutionize most of the industrial processes and products currently in use. This groundbreaking work draws on physics and chemistry to establish basic concepts and analytical tools. The book then describes nanomechanical components, devices, and systems, including parallel computers able to execute 1020 instructions per second and desktop molecular manufacturing systems able to make such products. Via chemical and biochemical techniques, proximal probe instruments, and software for computer-aided molecular design, the book charts a path from present laboratory capabilities to advanced molecular manufacturing. Bringing together physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and computer science, Nanosystems provides an indispensable introduction to the emerging field of molecular nanotechnology.

Biomolecular Computation for Bionanotechnology

Product Description
Computers built with moleware? The drive toward non-silicon computing is underway, and this first-of-its-kind guide to molecular computation gives researchers a firm grasp of the technologies, biochemical details, and theoretical models at the cutting edge. It explores advances in molecular biology and nanotechnology and illuminates how the convergence of various technologies is propelling computational capacity beyond the limitations of traditional hardware technology and into the realm of moleware.

With its wealth of models, algorithms, designs, and problem-solving applications, this volume is the first to bridge the gap between biomaterial sciences/molecular biology modeling and bioinformatics engineering for bionanoscale phenomena. It brings researchers up to speed on DNA computing and membrane computing, and describes nanobiomachines including NanobioICT and their potential in information processing and communications. Supported by 80 illustrations, this trail-blazing volume will be indispensable for all engineers and researchers in the field.

Mathematics of Quantum Computation and Quantum Technology

Product Description
Research and development in the pioneering field of quantum computing involve just about every facet of science and engineering, including the significant areas of mathematics and physics. Based on the firm understanding that mathematics and physics are equal partners in the continuing study of quantum science, Mathematics of Quantum Computation and Quantum Technology explores the rapid mathematical advancements made in this field in recent years.

Novel Viewpoints on Numerous Aspects of Quantum Computing and Technology
Edited by a well-respected team of experts, this volume compiles contributions from specialists across various disciplines. It contains four main parts, beginning with topics in quantum computing that include quantum algorithms and hidden subgroups, quantum search, algorithmic complexity, and quantum simulation. The next section covers quantum technology, such as mathematical tools, quantum wave functions, superconducting quantum computing interference devices (SQUIDs), and optical quantum computing. The section on quantum information deals with error correction, cryptography, entanglement, and communication. The final part explores topological quantum computation, knot theory, category algebra, and logic.

The Tools You Need to Tackle the Next Generation of Quantum Technology
This book facilitates both the construction of a common quantum language and the development of interdisciplinary quantum techniques, which will aid efforts in the pursuit of the ultimate goal-a “real” scalable quantum computer.

Theoretical and Experimental DNA Computation

Product Description
The field of DNA computation has flourished since the publication of Adleman’s seminal article, in which he demonstrated for the first time how a computation may be performed at a molecular level by performing standard operations on a tube of DNA strands. Since Adleman’s original experiment, interest in DNA computing has increased dramatically. This book provides a broad overview of the entire field of DNA computation, tracing its history and development. It contains detailed descripions of all major theoretical models and experimental results to date, which are lacking in existing texts. Potential future developments are also discussed. The book is a useful reference source for researchers and students, as well as an accessible introduction for people new to the field.
