We give a quantum algorithm for evaluating formulas over an extended gate set, including all two- and three-bit binary gates (e.g., NAND, 3-majority). The algorithm is optimal on read-once formulas for which each gate's inputs are balanced…

Pomsets constitute one of the most basic models of concurrency. A pomset is a generalisation of a word over an alphabet in that letters may be partially ordered. A term $t$ using the bi-Kleene operations $0,1, +, \cdot\, ,^*, \parallel,…

The Turing machine models an old-fashioned computer, that does not interact with the user or with other computers, and only does batch processing. Therefore, we came up with a Reactive Turing Machine that does not have these shortcomings.…
