Information is inevitably tied to a physical representation and therefore to restrictions and
possibilities related to the laws of physics and the parts available in the universe. Quantum …

T hpheoretical computer scientists, like their counterparts in physics, suffer and benefit from
a high level of intellectual machismo. They believe they have some of the biggest brains …

Our topic can be approached from a variety of points of view, but these lectures will adopt
the perspective of a theoretical physicist (that is, it's my perspective and I'm a theoretical …

The theory of quantum information, that is, of the transmission, storage, and processing of
information using quantum-mechanical systems, is now well developed. It has been …

Quantum computation and information is a new, rapidly develo** interdisciplinary field.
Therefore, it is not easy to understand its fundamental concepts and central results without …

The subject of quantum computing brings together ideas from classical information theory,
computer science, and quantum physics. This review aims to summarize not just quantum …

DAVID DEUTSCH in will be next, the design of microelectronic components. But soon it will
be necessary to harness quantum theory, rather than simply take it into account, to give …

Since its dawn at the beginning of the twentieth century, quantum mechanics has had an
outstanding technological and societal impact. To appreciate this fact, it is sufficient to …

We have, in the last few years, radically improved our grasp of the quantum world. Not just
intellectually, either: our ability to manipulate real quantum systems has grown in equal …
