Abstract

Quantum information

In Mn10 we discussed the rudiments of “classical computation.” Classical, conventional computation involves combinations of transistors that convert low- and high-voltage inputs into different low- and high-voltage outputs. These voltages are interpreted as the binary digits 0 and 1, i.e., as bits. How bits are changed into other bits leads to such things as text preparation and storage, numerical calculations and symbolic manipulations, image and sound generation, game playing, intercontinental communication—in short, the modern world of information.
