9789819832408 - The Improbable Computer: How Quantum Computing Will Change The World von Casati, Giulio; Benenti, Giuliano; Montangero, Simone (1 Ergebnisse)

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book first invites readers on a journey into the world of quantum mechanics, where surprising and often counterintuitive phenomena occur. From the discovery of indeterminacy - where probability replaces certainty - to the phenomenon of entanglement and the profound nature of quantum correlations, the book reveals how quantum physics reshapes our understanding of the universe.Building on this foundation, the book explores the logic and extraordinary potential of quantum computation. Readers will learn how quantum parallelism enables computation on an unprecedented scale, and how powerful quantum algorithms promise to revolutionize our world. The narrative then moves on to cutting-edge applications of quantum technologies, including secure quantum communication and ultra-sensitive quantum sensors poised to transform medicine, navigation, and beyond.Concluding with an outlook, the book addresses both the challenges and promises facing emerging quantum technologies. It highlights ongoing efforts to overcome technical obstacles while envisioning the transformative impact these technologies may have on science, industry, and everyday life.
