What would be some excellent readings for a class on "The Future of Matter"?
Kitaev on "Anyons in an Exactly Solvable Model and Beyond": https://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0506438.pdf">https://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-...
. @FrankWilczek on "Quantum Mechanics of Fractional-Spin Particles": https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.49.957">https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstr... https://www.fuw.edu.pl/~pzdybel/WilczekAnyon.pdf">https://www.fuw.edu.pl/~pzdybel/...
von Neumann and Burks on "Theory of Self-reproducing Automata": https://archive.org/details/theoryofselfrepr00vonn_0">https://archive.org/details/t...

My sense is there should certainly be some things here on how the ribosome operates. But I& #39;m not quite sure what. Suggestions?
Maybe something on the minimal cell chassis that has been constructed, as a sort of workhorse for synthetic biology: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27013737/ ">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27013737/...
Likewise: what& #39;s the best introduction to synthetic biology?
More fun: J. Storrs Hall& #39;s idea of a "Utility Fog": http://cognitivemedium.com/assets/matter/Hall1993.pdf">https://cognitivemedium.com/assets/ma...
Some of @DavidDeutschOxf and Chiara Marletto& #39;s papers on constructor theory: http://constructortheory.org/research/ ">https://constructortheory.org/research/...
What are the best papers / reviews / books on quantum matter?
Interesting to think about relatively recent discoveries: CRISPR, cell chassis, structure of ribosome, graphene, fractional statistics, topological matter, the Kitaev (and similar) models, BEC, etc etc [for VERY LARGE values of etc etc]. It& #39;s an absolutely astounding time.
