Description
A glimpse into the near future of computing reveals a world-transforming technology. Quantum computers are no longer science fiction, but their development is set to revolutionise the industry. John Gribbin explores the cutting-edge technology, tracing its roots from Alan Turing's work on the Enigma machine and the first electronic computer. Gribbin delves into the practical applications of quantum computing, examining machines that learn through "intuition" and trial and error, as well as unhackable laptops and smartphones. He investigates the potential for this extraordinary science to create a world where communication occurs faster than light and teleportation is possible. This book provides an insider's look at the new frontier of computer science, exploring its revolutionary implications and the possibilities it holds for our future.
