'''''Programming the Universe: A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes On the Cosmos''''' is a 2006 [[popular science]] book by [[Seth Lloyd]], professor of mechanical engineering at the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]]. The book proposes that the universe is a [[quantum computer]], and advances in the understanding of physics may come from viewing [[entropy]] as a phenomenon of information, rather than simply [[thermodynamics]]. Lloyd also postulates that the universe can be fully simulated using a quantum computer,; however, in the absence of a theory of [[quantum gravity]], such a simulation is not yet possible.
