In summary, statistical mechanics and computation are closely connected through the use of probability and information theory to analyze and understand complex systems. Statistical mechanics provides a framework for understanding the behavior of large systems of particles, while computation allows for the efficient analysis and simulation of these systems. Together, they have revolutionized our understanding of physical and biological systems, and continue to play a crucial role in many fields of science and technology.

Long-time lurker, then one day foolishly could not resist posting. Retired EE. Mostly interested in statistical mechanics and the relationship of thermo to computation.
