Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -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 measure with our understanding of their fundamental behavior. These two shoots - the intellectual and the practical harnessing of the quantum world - have sprung up at a time when a third shoot - information processing - has also been experiencing explosive growth. These three shoots are now becoming intertwined. Twisted together, our understanding of information processing, quantum theory and practical quantum control make for a strong new growth with enormous potential. One must always be careful about using the word 'revolutionary' too readily. It is, however, difficult to find another word to describe the developments that have been taking place during the second half of the 1990s. In 1986 Richard Feynman, the visionary professor of physics, made a very interesting remark: ' . we are going to be even more ridiculous later and consider bits written on one atom instead of the present 1011 atoms. Such nonsense is very entertaining to professors like me.' It is exceptionally unfortunate that Feynman did not live to see this 'nonsense' fully transformed into reality. He, more than anybody, would enjoy the fact that it is now possible to write information onto an atom, or indeed an ion or a photon.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 168 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Over the past half century computers have gone from being the room-sized servants of a privileged few to the totable companions of business travellers, schoolchildren,andjust aboutanyonewho canpoint andclick a mouse. Inpart, this transformation was made possible by the dramatic miniaturization in the basic components of a computer. This trend was quantied in 1964 by Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel, who noticed that the amount of information that could be stored on a given amount of silicon doubled roughly every 18 months. The doubling trend continues to this day and, by crude extrapolation, predicts that the computers of 2020 might be approaching the one-atom-per-bit level. Physical systems such as atoms, however, behave in ways that are very d- ferent from everyday objects. In fact they are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics rather than classical mechanics. In the early 1980 s some foresighted physicists,suchesCharlesBennett(ourconferenceChairperson),RolfLandauer, Paul Benio, David Deutsch, and Richard Feynman, began to question what it would mean for a computer to operate at the one-atom-per-bit scale. The - ementary operations of such a computer would need to be described in terms of quantum mechanics. Recently, physicists and computer scientists have come to appreciate that certain quantum e ects, in particular superposition, int- ference, entanglement, non-locality, indeterminism, and non-clonability, allow entirely new kinds of tasks to be performed.
