From 1895 till 1899 he excavated the ancient Greek cities of Priene, from 1899 till 1911 Miletus, he took part at the excavations of the sanctuary of Didyma ( 1905 – 11 ) and of Samos ( 1910 – 11 ).

The geographer Strabo mentions this temple, the third greatest temple after those in Didyma and Ephesus, but considered finest of all for its proportions.

The temple to Apollo in Didyma was constructed sometime in the sixth century.

* The Persians burn down the Temple of Apollo at Didyma.

The findings at Anyang include the earliest written record of Chinese past so far discovered: inscriptions of divination records in ancient Chinese writing on the bones or shells of animals – the so-called " oracle bones ", dating from around 1200 BC.

The oracle bone script numerals were found on tortoise shell and animal bones.

The earliest evidence of the Chinese calendar is found on the oracle bones of the Shang Dynasty ( late second millennium BC ), which seem to describe a lunisolar year of 12 months, with a possible intercalary 13th, or even 14th, added empirically to prevent calendar drift.

All these definitions are equivalent, as they agree on which specific functions f can be computed by an oracle machine with oracle A.

* an oracle tape, on which an infinite sequence of B's and 1's is printed, corresponding to the characteristic function of the oracle set A ;

Turing machines can compute functions as follows: if f is a function that takes natural numbers to natural numbers, M < sup > A </ sup > is a Turing machine with oracle A, and whenever M < sup > A </ sup > is initialized with the work tape consisting of n + 1 consecutive 1's ( and blank elsewhere ) M < sup > A </ sup > eventually halts with f ( n ) 1's on the tape, then M < sup > A </ sup > is said to compute the function f. A similar definition can be made for functions of more than one variable, or partial functions.

Although the Xia is an important element in early Chinese history, reliable information on the history of China before 13th century BC can only come from archaeological evidence since China's first established written system on a durable medium, the oracle bone script, did not exist until then.

This journey was motivated by an awareness of the existence of the oracle, the growing motivation on the part of the individual or group to undertake the journey, and the gathering of information about the oracle as providing answers to important questions.

The oracle is a unitary operator which operates on two qubits, the index qubit and the oracle qubit:
