What can computers actually do—and where do they hit an absolute wall? Computational Complexity and the Limits of Efficient Computation cuts through the noise of modern technology to explore the foundational boundaries of algorithms, resource limits, and problem structures. Written for students, researchers, and curious practitioners alike, this book offers a clear, rigorous map through the core ideas of theoretical computer science—from P versus NP and quantum speedups to proof barriers and cryptographic assumptions. Precision matters, and this guide provides the exact language needed to understand what makes computation fast, what makes it hard, and what remains unknown
