What on earth do bananas have to do with quantum mechanics? From a
modern perspective, quantum mechanics is about strangely
counterintuitive correlations between separated systems, which can
be exploited in feats like quantum teleportation, unbreakable
cryptographic schemes, and computers with enormously enhanced
computing power. Schro?dinger coined the term "entanglement" to
describe these bizarre correlations. Bananaworld - an imaginary
island with "entangled" bananas - brings to life the fascinating
discoveries of the new field of quantum information without the
mathematical machinery of quantum mechanics. The connection with
quantum correlations is fully explained in sections written for the
non-physicist reader with a serious interest in understanding the
mysteries of the quantum world. The result is a subversive but
entertaining book that is accessible and interesting to a wide
range of readers, with the novel thesis that quantum mechanics is
about the structure of information. What we have discovered is that
the possibilities for representing, manipulating, and communicating
information are very different than we thought.
