Abstract

As well established and world changing as the digital revolution has been, its days are numbered. The never-ending march of scientific progress will deliver us a new paradigm in the very near future: quantum computing. Its applications, while at first purely theoretical, will eventually cover many aspects of our lives: communications, medicine, security, and even world politics. In this chapter we'll take a glance at some of the ramifications of quantum computing before moving into specifics with the chapters to follow.
