到2020年，计算机的基本内存组件将是单个原子的大小。在这样的尺度上，当前的计算理论将变得无效。一个称为“量子计算”的新领域正在出现，该领域正在以与量子物理学一致的方式重塑计算机科学和信息理论的基础，这是当前已知的最准确的现实模型。值得注意的是，这一新理论预测，量子计算机可以比古典计算机更快地执行某些任务，而且更好的是，可以完成令人难以置信的壮举，例如传送信息，破坏据称是“牢不可破”的代码，生成真实的随机数，并与之通信出卖窃听的消息。 “量子计算中的探索”用简单的术语解释了这些新兴的发展，并描述了必须克服的关键技术障碍，以使量子计算机成为现实。本书借鉴了最新的研究，并使用可执行的软件模拟来帮助解释材料，并允许读者尝试量子计算机背后的想法。这是任何希望更多地了解下一个（也许是“终极”）计算机革命的人的理想文本。
By the year 2020, the basic memory components of a computer will be the size of individual atoms. At such scales, the current theory of computation will become invalid. A new field called "quantum computing" is emerging that is reinventing the foundations of computer science and information theory in a way that is consistent with quantum physics - the most accurate model of reality that is currently known. Remarkably, this new theory predicts that quantum computers can perform certain tasks breathtakingly faster than classical computers, and, better yet, can accomplish mind-boggling feats such as teleporting information, breaking supposedly "unbreakable" codes, generating true random numbers, and communicating with messages that betray the presence of eavesdropping. "Explorations in Quantum Computing" explains these burgeoning developments in simple terms, and describes the key technological hurdles that must be overcome in order to make quantum computers a reality. This book draws upon the very latest research and uses executable software simulations to help explain the material and allow the reader to experiment with the ideas behind quantum computers. This is the ideal text for anyone wishing to learn more about the next, perhaps "ultimate," computer revolution.
