IoP publishes new booklet on ‘The age of the qubit’
‘The age of the qubit – A new era of quantum information in science and technology’ is a new booklet published by the UK’s Institute of Physics, which examines the innovative research being undertaken in the field of quantum information processing.
The behaviour of physical systems at the quantum level is being used to process and transfer information in a new and powerful way, which could potentially lead to the creation of a new type of information processing device – the quantum computer – with many applications for society.
The booklet also looks at how such discoveries are leading physicists to develop concepts in quantum theory, which are having wide-ranging implications in many areas.
‘The age of the qubit…’ is available for download from the Institute of Physics website. Hard copies can also be requested by emailing Sophie Robinson sophie [dot] robinson [at] iop [dot] org.
