The Physics of Quantum Information : Quantum Cryptography, Quantum Teleportation, Quantum Computation
Information is stored, transmitted and processed by physical means.Thus, the concept of information and computation can be formulated in the con text of a physical theory and the study of information requires ultimately experimentation.This sentence, innocuous at first glance, leads to non-trivial consequences.Following Moore's law, about every 18 months microprocessors double their speed and, it seems, the only way to make them significantly faster is to make them smaller.In the not too distant future they will reach the point where the logic gates are so small that they consist of only a few atoms each.Then quantum-mechanical effects will become important.Thus, if computers are to continue to become faster (and therefore smaller), new, quantum technology must replace or supplement what we have now.But it turns out that such technology can offer much more than smaller and faster microprocessors.Several recent theoretical results have shown that quantum effects may be harnessed to provide qualitatively new modes of communication and computation, in some cases much more powerful than their classical counterparts.This new quantum technology is being born in many laboratories.The last two decades have witnessed experiments in which single quantum particles of different kinds were controlled and manipulated with an unprecedented preci sion.Many "gedanken" experiments, so famous in the early days of quantum mechanics, have been carried out.

Quantum Spirituality : Science, Gnostic Mysticism, and Connecting with Source Consciousness
From the dawn of history, a universal wisdom tradition has existed that explains humanity’s purpose in the cosmos and our relationship to the Master Source Consciousness.This mystical philosophy was harnessed by the ancient seers known as Gnostics, who were in direct contact with Source Consciousness.As Peter Canova reveals, not only do the ancient teachings of Gnosticism contain important spiritual truths, but they profoundly align with the modern sciences of quantum physics and psychology.They can also provide us with a transformative path to higher consciousness and practical tools to create your own reality. Merging modern science and ancient wisdom, Canova explores the perennial principles of Gnosticism and shows how they describe major theories of quantum physics, such as the Big Bang, parallel universes, the Holographic Universe theory, and Einstein’s Relativity.He recounts the Gnostic story of Sophia from a scientific standpoint, showing how it describes the fall of spiritual consciousness into material existence.He also provides in-depth evidence that Jesus taught a hidden, mystical Gnostic initiation rite. Explaining how the Master Consciousness created and shaped all life, including humans, the author reveals how Source gave us a critical role to fulfill in the cosmos, including the ability of our thoughts to affect the material world.He describes Carl Jung’s role in the spiritualization of psychology and how this can be used by the modern spiritual seeker to pursue a path of enlightenment and personal fulfillment. Ultimately showing how enlightenment is a process wherein outer manifestations arise from inner experience--including synchronicity and dreams--the author reveals how each of us can harness the power of quantum spirituality to transform our world on both an individual and collective level.

What is quantum entanglement?
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them. This means that measuring the state of one particle instantly determines the state of the other, even if they are light-years apart. This mysterious connection defies classical physics and has been described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance." Quantum entanglement is a key principle in quantum mechanics and has potential applications in quantum computing and cryptography.
