A shortcut through time : the path to the quantum computer
Johnson, George, 1952-
A shortcut through time : the path to the quantum computer / George Johnson - New York : Alfred A. Knopf : Distributed by Random House , 2003. - xv, 204 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [175]-191) and index.
Answering a colleague's challenge to write a short book explaining the complex science of quantum computing, Johnson offers a clear analysis of the emerging technology for a general audience interested in science. Johnson, a science writer for the New York Times, explains the quantum theory that makes the computer a reality and projects future applications in code breaking, solving previously unsolvable math equations, and understanding the mysterious behavior of certain protein molecules.
