Poster %D 2007 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10317/1011 %X Quantum computing combines two of the main scientific achievements of the 20th century: Information Theory and Quantum Mechanics. Its interdisciplinary character is one of the most stimulating and appealing attributes. The new Quantum Information Theory augurs powerful machines that obey the “entangled” logic of the subatomic world. Parallelism, entanglement, teleportation, no-cloning and quantum cryptography are typical peculiarities of this novel way of understanding computation. In this article, we highlight and explain these fundamental ingredients that make Quantum Computing potentially powerful. %K Matemática Aplicada %K Teoría de la información cuántica %K Teoría de la información %K Mecánica cuántica %K Paralelismo cuántico %K Criptografía %K Computación cuántica %K Quantum information theory %K Information theory %K Quantum mechanics %K Quantum parallelism %K Cryptography %K Quantum computation %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
