The nature of quantum computation is discussed. It is argued that, in terms of the amount of information manipulated in a given time, quantum and classical computation are equally efficient. Quantum superposition does not permit quantum computers to ''perform many computations simultaneously'' excep

We present a simple implementation of quantum teleportation in terms of primitive operations in quantum computation.
A practically useful quantum computer would be a large quantum network ready to support a universal set of unitary transformations. By these transformations one would generate quantum states at will out of the zero-entropy ground-state, the state of initialization. To what extent this will ever be p
We discuss the dynamical issues of quantum computation. We demonstrate that fast wave function oscillations can affect the performance of Shor's quantum algorithm by destroying the required quantum interference. We also show that this destructive effect can be routinely avoided by using resonant-pul
Join Bob the explorer and his dog Rick on a rip-roaring trip through the quantum universe as they meet Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Erwin SchrΓΆdinger and many other scientists who encourage them to uncover the mysteries of physics with the help of pancakes, cats, mice and all kinds of optical illusi
