Dal risvolto di copertina interno
ok to prepare us for the next big perhaps the biggest breakthrough in the short history of the cyberworld: the development of the quantum computer.
The newest Pentium chip driving personal computers packs 40 million electronic switches onto a piece of silicon the size of a thumbnail. It is dramatically smaller and more powerful than anything that has come before it. If this incredible shrinking act continues, the logical culmination is a computer in which each switch is composed of a single atom. And at that point the miraculous the actualization of quantum mechanics becomes real.

Quantum computing promises nothing less astonishing than a shortcut through time.
