Published by Springer-Verlag?  I hope their books are easier to read
than they were 20 years ago.  Then again, given the subject matter.... ;)

The page is pretty interesting, though:


        "By the year 2020 the basic memory components of a computer
         will be the size of individual atoms."

If I'm still working then, it will be fun to see the CE swap atoms.


        "Chapter 9 Quantum Teleportation"

Sounds interesting.  Adm. Kirk, here we come! ;)


        "Chapter 11 How to Make a Quantum Computer
         ...
        "       11.4 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-based Quantum Computers"

Not a project for junior, I s'pose.


My head hurts just from reading the table of contents.
I think I'll pass for now....
