A non-deterministic Turing machine is a theoretical model of computation that, unlike a deterministic Turing machine, can take multiple paths or transitions for a given input from a specific state. This means it can explore many possible computational paths simultaneously, allowing it to solve certain problems more efficiently by considering multiple possibilities at once. Non-deterministic Turing machines are pivotal in understanding computational complexity, especially in defining complexity classes like NP (nondeterministic polynomial time).
congrats on reading the definition of Non-deterministic Turing Machine. now let's actually learn it.
