Computing with Quantum Cats: From Colossus to Qubits
John Gribbin traces the evolution of computing from the code-breaking efforts of Alan Turing at Bletchley Park to the modern frontier of subatomic processing. He explains how the strange laws of quantum mechanics allow particles to exist in multiple states simultaneously, forming the basis for a new era of technology. By connecting historical breakthroughs with theoretical physics, Gribbin makes …
