From international, multibillion-dollar financial transactions to top-secret government communications, all would be vulnerable to the secret-code-breaking ability of the quantum computer.Written by a renowned quantum physicist closely involved in the U.S. governmentOCOs development of quantum information science, SchrAdingerOCOs Killer App: Race to Build the WorldOCOs First Quantum Computer presents an inside look at the governmentOCOs quest to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex mathematical problems and hacking the public-key encryption codes used to secure the Internet. The killer application refers to ShorOCOs quantum factoring algorithm, which would unveil the encrypted communications of the entire Internet if a quantum computer could be built to run the algorithm. SchrAdingerOCOs notion of quantum entanglementOCoand his infamous catOCois at the heart of it all.The book develops the concept of entanglement in the historical context of EinsteinOCOs 30-year battle with the physics community over the true meaning of quantum theory. It discusses the remedy to the threat posed by the quantum code breaker: quantum cryptography, which is unbreakable even by the quantum computer. The author also covers applications to other important areas, such as quantum physics simulators, synchronized clocks, quantum search engines, quantum sensors, and imaging devices. In addition, he takes readers on a philosophical journey that considers the future ramifications of quantum technologies.Interspersed with amusing and personal anecdotes, this book presents quantum computing and the closely connected foundations of quantum mechanics in an engaging manner accessible to non-specialists. Requiring no formal training in physics or advanced mathematics, it explains difficult topics, including quantum entanglement, SchrAdingerOCOs cat, BellOCOs inequality, and quantum computational complexity, using simple analogies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
