Question 1

Explain how the Church-Turing Hypothesis relates to modern computing trends, such as quantum computing. Do you think quantum computing will change our understanding of computability?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what makes quantum computing unique and whether it aligns with classical definitions of algorithms.

Question 2

Propose a theoretical problem that could be computable or uncomputable. Justify your reasoning based on the Church-Turing framework.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think critically about how systems can behave chaotically or unpredictably.
