Physics News 532, March 28, 2001

Physics News 532, March 28, 2001: "Seth Lloyd of MIT has previously addressed himself to calculating the conceivable limits on the computing power of such a black hole computer (Nature, 31 August 2000) and arrives at a maximum processing speed of about 10^51 operations/sec for a 1-kg black hole. Now Jack Ng of the University of North Carolina yjng@physics.unc.edu, 919-962-7208) extends this study by asking whether the very foaminess of spacetime, thought to arise at the level of 10^-35 m, provides an alternative way to limit theoretical computation."
