The Bit and the Pendulum: From Quantum Computing to M Theory--The New Physics of Information Hardcover - 2000
by Tom Siegfried
Summary
An award-winning journalist surveys the horizon of a new revolution in science. Everything in the universe, from the molecules in our bodies to the heart of a black hole, is made up of bits of information. This is the radical idea at the center of the new physics of information, and it is leading to exciting breakthroughs in a vast range of science, including the invention of a new kind of quantum computer, millions of times faster than any computer today. Acclaimed science writer Tom Siegfried offers a lively introduction to the leading scientists and ideas responsible for this exciting new scientific paradigm. - Publisher.
First line
Had it appeared two months later, the IBM advertisement in the February 1996 Scientific American would have been taken for an April Fools' joke.
