Two transformative waves of computing have redefined the way we approach science. The first wave came with the birth of the digital computer, which enabled scientists to numerically simulate their models and analyze massive datasets. This technological breakthrough led to the emergence of many sub-disciplines bearing the prefix "computational" in their names. Currently, we are in the midst of the second wave, marked by the remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence. From predicting protein structures to classifying galaxies, the scope of its applications is vast, and there can only be more awaiting us on the horizon.While these two waves influence scientific methodology at the instrumental level, in this dissertation, I will present the computational lens in science, aiming at the conceptual level. Specifically, the central thesis posits that computation serves as a convenient and mechanistic language for understanding and analyzing information processing systems, offering the advantages of composability and modularity. This dissertation begins with an illustration of the blueprint of the computational lens, supported by a review of relevant previous work. Subsequently, I will present my own works in quantum physics and neuroscience as concrete examples. In the concluding chapter, I will contemplate the potential of applying the computational lens across various scientific fields, in a way that can provide significant domain insights, and discuss potential future directions.
