The revolution is here. In breakthrough after breakthrough,
pioneering physicists are unlocking a new quantum universe which
provides a better representation of reality than our everyday
experiences and common sense ever could. The birth of quantum
computers - which, like Schroedinger's famous dead-and-alive cat,
rely on entities like electrons existing in a mixture of states -
is starting to turn the computing world on its head. In his
fascinating study of this cutting-edge technology (first published
as Computing with Quantum Cats and now featuring a new foreword),
John Gribbin updates his previous views on the nature of quantum
reality, arguing for a universe of many parallel worlds where
'everything is real'. Looking back to Alan Turing's work on the
Enigma machine and the first electronic computer, Gribbin explains
how quantum theory developed to make quantum computers work in
practice as well as in principle. He takes us beyond the arena of
theoretical physics to explore their practical applications - from
machines which learn through 'intuition' and trial and error to
unhackable laptops and smartphones. And he investigates the
potential for this extraordinary science to allow communication
faster than light and even teleportation, as we step into a world
of infinite possibility.
