The Alan Turing Institute was set up in Manchester, England by UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester and comes under the umbrella of the Manchester Institute for Mathematical Sciences, the research arm of the School of Mathematics in the new University of Manchester. It focuses on industrial collaborations and is named in honour of Alan Turing, who worked at the Victoria University of Manchester. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alan Turing Institute"
The Alan Turing Memorial, situated in the Sackville Park in Manchester, England, is in memory of the father of modern computing. Turing committed suicide in 1954 after being prosecuted by the police because of his (then illegal) homosexuality. As such he is as much a gay icon as an icon of computing, and it's no coincidence that this memorial is sited right next to Canal street - Manchester's famous gay village. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alan Turing Memorial"

In computability theory the Church–Turing thesis, Church's thesis, Church's conjecture or Turing's thesis, named after Alonzo Church and Alan Turing, is a hypothesis about the nature of mechanical calculation devices, such as electronic computers. ...more on Wikipedia about "Church–Turing thesis"
Alonzo Church, Alan Turing, and David Deutsch contributed to the Church–Turing–Deutsch principle, also known as the CTD principle, of computer science. The principle states: A universal computing device can simulate every physical process. ...more on Wikipedia about "Church–Turing–Deutsch principle"
Computing machinery and intelligence, written by Alan Turing and published in 1950, is a seminal paper on the topic of artificial intelligence in which the concept of what is now known as the Turing test was introduced. It was also the origin of the thesis that cognition is computation ( computationalism) ...more on Wikipedia about "Computing machinery and intelligence"
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the national measurement standards laboratory for the United Kingdom, based at Bushy Park in Teddington in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is the largest applied physics organisation in the UK, and has a role similar to that of NIST in the United States. ...more on Wikipedia about "National Physical Laboratory, UK"
The term reverse Turing test has no single clear definition, but has been used to describe various situations based on the Turing test in which the objective and/or one or more of the roles have been reversed between computers and humans. ...more on Wikipedia about "Reverse Turing test"

In computability theory a programming language or an abstract machine is called Turing-complete, Turing-equivalent, or (computationally) universal if it has a computational power equivalent to a universal Turing machine (a simplified model of a programmable computer). In other words, the system and the universal Turing machine can emulate each other. The term derives from the name of mathematician Alan Turing who introduced the model of the universal Turing machine. (Under traditional hyphenation conventions, the adjective Turing-complete should be hyphenated, but the noun Turing completeness need not be.) ...more on Wikipedia about "Turing completeness"
Turing machines are extremely basic symbol-manipulating devices which — despite their simplicity — can be adapted to simulate the logic of any computer that could possibly be constructed. They were described in 1936 by Alan Turing. Though they were intended to be technically feasible, Turing machines were not meant to be a practical computing technology, but a thought experiment about the limits of mechanical computation; thus they were not actually constructed. Studying their abstract properties yields many insights in computer science and complexity theory. ...more on Wikipedia about "Turing machine"
In computability theory, a Turing reduction from a problem A to a problem B is, intuitively, a reduction which easily solves A, assuming B is easy to solve. More formally, a Turing reduction is a function computable by an oracle machine with an oracle for B. ...more on Wikipedia about "Turing reduction"

The Turing test is a proposal for a test of a machine's capability to perform human-like conversation. Described by Alan Turing in the 1950 paper " Computing machinery and intelligence", it proceeds as follows: a human judge engages in a natural language conversation with two other parties, one a human and the other a machine; if the judge cannot reliably tell which is which, then the machine is said to pass the test. It is assumed that both the human and the machine try to appear human. In order to keep the test setting simple and universal (to explicitly test the linguistic capability of the machine instead of its ability to render words into audio), the conversation is usually limited to a text-only channel such as a teletype machine as Turing suggested or, more recently IRC or instant messaging. ...more on Wikipedia about "Turing test"
