This book addresses a broad community of physicists, engineers,
computer scientists and industry professionals, as well as the
general public, who are aware of the unprecedented media hype
surrounding the supposedly imminent new era of quantum computing.
The central argument of this book is that the feasibility of
quantum computing in the physical world is extremely doubtful. The
hypothetical quantum computer is not simply a quantum variant of
the conventional digital computer, but rather a quantum extension
of a classical analog computer operating with continuous
parameters. In order to have a useful machine, the number of
continuous parameters to control would have to be of such an
astronomically large magnitude as to render the endeavor virtually
infeasible. This viewpoint is based on the author's expert
understanding of the gargantuan challenges that would have to be
overcome to ever make quantum computing a reality. Knowledge of
secondary-school-level physics and math will be sufficient for
understanding most of the text.
