 | Shrodinger's Machines by Gerard J. Milburn
For anyone who wants to understand...quantum theory, Gerard Milburn's Schrodinger's Machines is the perfect place to start. An eminent quantum physicist, Milburn describes a world where an object can apparently be in two places at once, where a particle can penetrate a barrier without breaking it, and in which widely separated particles can cooperate without communicating. What will all this lead to? How about molecular-sized machines, new and exotic materials, detectors sensitive enough to pick up the sound of a pin dropping on the other side of the earth, and quantum computers that can process information in alternative realities, thus creating a whole new type of mathematics. As fantastical as these ideas seem to us, many of them will be with us as we enter the twenty-first century, transforming our lives in ways hard to imagine. AUTHOR: Gerard J. Milburn
