About this audiobook
A quantum computer is not a faster computer; it is a differently-abled one, and this book explains exactly what that means. Written entirely without equations, it tells the whole forty-five-year story of the idea that information itself obeys quantum mechanics: the qubit and its strange blend of states, the founding decade when Benioff, Feynman, and Deutsch rebuilt the theory of computation on physics, the great algorithms of the nineties, when Shor showed a quantum machine could crack the world's public-key locks and Grover found the square-root speed limit of quantum search, and the long engineering campaign that followed, from the first fragile superconducting circuits to the machines of today, colder than deep space, now correcting their own errors.
