While quantum theory has been used to study the physical universe
with great profit, both intellectual and financial, ever since its
discovery eighty-five years ago, over the last fifty years we have
found out more and more about the theory itself, and what it tells
us about the universe. It seems we may have to accept non-locality
- cause and effect may be light-years apart; loss of realism -
nature may be fundamentally probabilistic; and non-determinism - it
seems that God does play dice! This book, totally up-to-date and
written by an expert in the field, explains the emergence of our
new perspective on quantum theory, but also describes how the ideas
involved in this re-evaluation led seamlessly to a totally new
discipline - quantum information theory. This discipline includes
quantum computation, which is able to perform tasks quite out of
the range of other computers; the totally secure algorithms of
quantum cryptography; and quantum teleportation - as part of
science fact rather than science fiction. The book is the first to
combine these elements, and will be of interest to anybody
interested in fundamental aspects of science and their application
to the real world.
