0098429MerminThe PI will re-examine old interpretational questions in the foundations of quantum mechanics in the light of new developments in quantum computation which focus on the quantum state exclusively as a way of manipulating of transmitting (digital) information.A self-contained introduction to the quantum theory will be formulated that is entirely accessible to computer scientists unacquainted with contemporary physics, as a generalization of how one defines and manipulates the ordinary bits of classical information theory.

根据量子计算的新发展，PI将重新审视量子力学基础中的旧解释问题，这些新发展专门关注作为传输(数字)信息的一种方式的量子态。不熟悉当代物理学的计算机科学家将完全可以获得完整的量子理论入门，作为如何定义和操作经典信息理论的普通比特的概括。
