Philosophy of Quantum Information and Entanglement 1st Edition by Alisa Bokulich (PDF)

Description

Recent work in quantum information science has produced a revolution in our understanding of quantum entanglement. Scientists now view entanglement as a physical resource with many important applications. These range from quantum computers, which would be able to compute exponentially faster than classical computers, to quantum cryptographic techniques, which could provide unbreakable codes for the transfer of secret information over public channels. These important advances in the study of quantum entanglement and information touch on deep foundational issues in both physics and philosophy. This interdisciplinary volume brings together fourteen of the world’s leading physicists and philosophers of physics to address the most important developments and debates in this exciting area of research. It offers a broad spectrum of approaches to resolving deep foundational challenges – philosophical, mathematical, and physical – raised by quantum information, quantum processing, and entanglement. This book is ideal for historians, philosophers of science and physicists.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review Features contributions from leading experts… This volume has… a diverse set of rich and stimulating papers, representative of the best cutting-edge research in this exciting interdisciplinary program. –Notre Dame Philosophical ReviewsThis is a courageous book… it is also a very interesting one… as far as 20th century philosophers… have set its agenda… [this] book obviously attempts to bridge this gap. And successfully so, I would say. –N. P. LandsmanThe book has thus become a goldmine of information and original ideas about quantum mechanics and its philosophy. –Dennis Dieks Book Description This book addresses the most important developments and debates in this exciting area of research for historians, philosophers of science and physicists.

⭐Wasn’t very impressed by this book. I was expecting something more substantial. Instead I got the usual hocus-pocus that surrounds anything quantum.
