    An anatomy of a quantum adiabatic algorithm that transcends the Turing computability

    We give an update on a quantum adiabatic algorithm for the Turing noncomputable Hilbert's tenth problem, and briefly go over some relevant issues and misleading objections to the algorithm.Comment: 7 pages, no figure.

    A reformulation of Hilbert's tenth problem through Quantum Mechanics

    Full text link
    Inspired by Quantum Mechanics, we reformulate Hilbert's tenth problem in the domain of integer arithmetics into either a problem involving a set of infinitely coupled differential equations or a problem involving a Shr\"odinger propagator with some appropriate kernel. Either way, Mathematics and Physics could be combined for Hilbert's tenth problem and for the notion of effective computability
