The Feynman Processor

1999

In "The Feynman Processor," Gerard J. Milburn brilliantly explores the frightening near-future possibility of quantum computing. Milburn predicts that quantum computation will soon bypass conventional computers, leaving them behind in a race to the future. He explains, in clear and accessible language, the concept of quantum entanglement, providing insight on how quantum computers might work and the possibility of teleportation. With the mind-boggling advances in technology and science, Milburn analyzes the heart-pumping question: Do we have the metabolic machinery, the brainpower, to handle the coming avalanche of information? A must-read for anyone interested in the emerging field of quantum computing and how it will revolutionize the world as we know it.
