Edward Fredkin (October 2, 1934 – June 13, 2023)[1] was an American computer scientist, physicist and businessman who was an early pioneer of digital physics.[2]
Fredkin's primary contributions included work on reversible computing and cellular automata. While Konrad Zuse's book, Calculating Space (1969), mentioned the importance of reversible computation, the Fredkin gate represented the essential breakthrough.[3] In more recent work, he used the term digital philosophy (DP).
During his career, Fredkin was a professor of computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Fairchild Distinguished Scholar at Caltech, a distinguished career professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and a Research Professor of Physics at Boston University.
The company became publicly traded and Fredkin became a millionaire.[6]
In 1968, Marvin Minsky (who he had met at BBN)[6] recruited Fredkin to work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a full professor despite the fact that he had never graduated from college.[1] From 1971 to 1974, Fredkin was the Director of Project MAC at MIT.[11] (Project MAC was renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science in 1976.[12]) He spent a year at Caltech as a Fairchild Distinguished Scholar, teaching Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman about computing and learning quantum mechanics from him.[6] Then he was a Professor of Physics at Boston University for six years.[13]
該公司上市，弗雷德金也成為了百萬富翁。 [6]
1968年，馬文·明斯基（他在BBN認識的）[6]聘請弗雷德金到麻省理工學院（MIT）擔任正教授，儘管弗雷德金從未大學畢業。 [1] 1971年至1974年，弗雷德金擔任麻省理工學院MAC計畫的主任。 [11]（MAC 計畫於1976年更名為麻省理工學院電腦科學實驗室。[12]）他作為費爾柴爾德傑出學者在加州理工學院工作了一年，向諾貝爾物理學獎得主理查德·費曼講授計算知識，並向他學習量子力學。 [6] 之後，他在波士頓大學擔任了六年的物理學教授。 [13]
In 1984, Fredkin was awarded the Carnegie Mellon University Dickson Prize in Science, given annually to the person who has been judged to have made the most progress in a scientific field in the United States during that year.[24] In 1999, CMU established the Fredkin professorship.[25]
After serving as a fighter pilot in the Air Force in the early 1950s, Professor Fredkin became a renowned, if unconventional, scientific thinker. He was a close friend and intellectual sparring partner of the celebrated physicist Richard Feynman and the computer scientist Marvin Minsky, a trailblazer in artificial intelligence.
1984年，弗雷德金榮獲卡內基美隆大學迪克森科學獎，該獎項每年頒發給當年在美國某個科學領域取得最大進步的人物。 [24] 1999年，卡內基美隆大學設立了弗雷德金教授席位。 [25]
弗雷德金教授於1950年代初在空軍擔任戰鬥機飛行員，之後成為一位享有盛譽的、儘管頗具非傳統色彩的科學思想家。他是著名物理學家理查德·費曼和人工智慧先驅、電腦科學家馬文·明斯基的密友和學術夥伴。
“I always got along well with machines,” he told The Atlantic Monthly in 1988.
After high school, he enrolled in the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, where he studied with the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling. Lured by his desire to fly, however, he left school in his sophomore year to join the Air Force.「我一直和機器相處得很好，」他在1988年接受《大西洋月刊》採訪時說道。
高中畢業後，他進入帕薩迪納市的加州理工學院學習，師從諾貝爾獎得主、化學家萊納斯·鮑林。然而，出於對飛行的渴望，他在大二時輟學加入了空軍。
