Abstract

Information carried by a quantum system has notoriously weird properties. Physicists and engineers are now learning how to put that weirdness to work. Quantum computers, which manipulate quantum states rather than classical bits, may someday be able to perform tasks that would be inconceivable with conventional digital technology. (See the article by Charles H. Bennett, PHYSICS Today, October 1995, page 24, and the “Search and Discovery” report in PHYSICS Today, March 1996, page 21.)b
