The Bit and the Pendulum

An award-winning science journalist argues that the most important frontier for science in the 21st century is the „new physics of information“ which is leading the way to pathbreaking new understandings in a broad range of areas, from how the DNA code works to how the neurons in our brains transmit message. Siegfried also explains how this new physics is paving the way for a new technological revolution, including the invention of a whole new type of computer-a quantum computer-that would be millions of times more powerful than the most powerful computers today.
