Résumé
After the discovery of quantum mechanics over a century ago, physics will never be the same again. Now, information theory and computer science are catching up and unleashing the full power of the quantum world in ways never before thought possible. We are witnessing the prospect of transmitting and processing information with unconditionally secure communication and computers powerful beyond imagination. My research will continue to herald the Rise of the Quantum Age, signature of the 21st Century. On a more fundamental level, what are these new capabilities telling us about Nature herself? How is any of this possible at all?
