Thought for the day (or years???)

"We may hope that machines will eventually compete with men in all purely intellectual fields. But which are the best ones to start with? Many people think that a very abstract activity, like the playing of chess, would be best. It can also be maintained that it is best to provide the machine with the best sense organs that money can buy, and then teach it to understand and speak English."

-- Alan M. Turing

Some project/course related unpublished papers I wrote

• May 2006: Quantum Cellular Automata Final Project Report. Pulkit Gambhir, Apoorv Khurasia.
  People working on QCAs can use this resource as a tutorial on QCAs. The report also provides inputs on some aspects untouched by some researchers (at the time I last updated this line). It shall provide a sufficient introduction and hence can be considered to be a good starting point for studies on QCAs.
  
• January 2006: A Review on the Laws of Thought --the validity of our sciences. Apoorv Khurasia.
  This is still in the "under construction" phase. Feel free to copy and/or add stuff to the report. The source is available on request.
