  • Descrição: "Julian Brown's record of the quest for the Holy Grail of computing - a computer that could, in theory, take seconds to perform calculations that would take today's fastest supercomputers longer than the age of the universe - is a tale, populated by a remarkable cast of characters, including David Deutsch of Oxford University, who first announced the possibilty of computation in the Alice-in-Wonderland world of quantum mechanics; Ed Fredkin, who developed a new kind of logic gate as a true step toward universal computation; and Richard Feynman, who reasoned from the inability to model quantum mechanics on a classical computer the logical inevitability of quantum computing." "Minds, Machines, and the Multiverse details the uses for quantum computing in code breaking, for quantum computers will be able to crack many of the leading methods of protecting secret information, while offering new unbreakable codes. Quantum computers will also be able to model nuclear and subatomic reactions; offer insights into nanotechnology, teleportation, and time travel; and perhaps change the way chemists and biotechnologists design drugs and study the molecules of life. Farthest along the trail blazed by these pioneers is the ability to visualize the multiple realities of the quantum world not as a mathematical abstraction, but as a real map to a world of multiple universes." "Incorporating explanations of ion trap gates, nuclear magnetic resonance computers, quantum dots, quantum algorithms, Fourier transforms, and puzzles of quantum physics, and illustrated with dozens of diagrams, Minds, Machines, and the Multiverse offers a look at the still-unbuilt machines that, in the words of physicist Stanley Williams, "will reshape the face of science" and offer a new window into the secrets of an infinite number of potential universes."--BOOK JACKET
