  • P (for Polynomial) is the class that contains all the computational decision problems that can be solved by a deterministic Turing machine at a polynomial cost.

    Quantum Computing Hagar, Amit 2007

  • Thus, either discovery would contribute much more to “explicating fundamental physical concepts” than the mere confirmation of our current belief: namely, that the class of functions that are feasibly computable in physical reality coincides with Bounded-Error Quantum Polynomial-Time.

    Humankind’s Basic Picture of the Universe Sean 2006

  • Polynomial-time Turing machines are indeed a mathematical construct, but the reason people studied them in the first place is that they believed they accurately modelled what can efficiently be computed in the physical world.

    Faun & Games Anthony, Piers 1997

  • Polynomial time methods for finding an agent's optimal agenda were presented.
