Post-Turing computation

Post-Turing computation refers to theoretical models that extend or go beyond the capabilities of the original Turing machine, which is a mathematical abstraction of a computer. While Turing machines can perform any calculation that is algorithmically possible, Post-Turing models explore systems that might handle more complex tasks, including problems that are currently considered undecidable or beyond standard computation. These models help researchers understand the fundamental limits of computation, investigate alternative computing paradigms, and consider concepts like hypercomputation. Essentially, post-Turing computation investigates whether there could be ways to compute things that traditional models cannot, challenging or expanding our understanding of what computers can achieve.
