Reversible computing | Models of computation
A billiard-ball computer, a type of conservative logic circuit, is an idealized model of a reversible mechanical computer based on Newtonian dynamics, proposed in 1982 by Edward Fredkin and Tommaso Toffoli. Instead of using electronic signals like a conventional computer, it relies on the motion of spherical billiard balls in a friction-free environment made of buffers against which the balls bounce perfectly. It was devised to investigate the relation between computation and reversible processes in physics. (Wikipedia).
Low sea in the square with diamonds
Apologies for the pun, Sir Paul. Today's color scheme is for all the JoJo fans whose existence I recently discovered. Welcome to this channel! The billiard in a square has a fairly simple dynamics. In geometric optics, the wave front is simply an expanding circle, folded back on itself alo

The hexagonal quantum billiard: real part of the wave function
A solution to Schrödinger's equation in a hexagonal domain. Unlike previous simulations on this channel, this one shows the real part of the wave function, in order to highlight the wavelike behavior. We will see other representations later this week. The initial state is a Gaussian wave p

How to recognize billiard strings #SOME2
For the curious, "Sturmian sequences" are the name for balanced binary strings that are also infinite and not eventually periodic. Sturmian sequences are related in some very cool ways to continued fractions and several other topics. That may be the subject of Part 3, if I ever get that fa
