Abstract

We demonstrate a new unification of probability with standard computation in which a nonzero chance of disaster is treated as disaster. Laws and a Galois connection with the more traditional probabilistic model are provided. Reversibility in the probabilistic guarded-command language is discussed. Finally the formalism is applied to unify quantum computation and cryptography within the probabilistic method.
