Rules for a Complex Quantum World

" [...] Applications such as quantum teleportation
play a role similar to the steam engines and other
machines that spurred the development of
thermodynamics in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Thermodynamics was motivated by profound, basic
questions about how energy, heat and temperature are
related, the transformations among these quantities in
physical processes, and the key role of entropy.
Similarly, quantum information scientists are
fathoming the relation between classical and quantum
units of information, the novel ways that quantum
information can be processed, and the pivotal
importance of a quantum feature called entanglement,
which entails peculiar connections between different
objects. [...] "
