Resumen de Beyond the quantum horizon.

David Deutsch, Arthur K. Ekert

• The article presents information dismissing the misconception that quantum mechanics sets limits to human knowledge and instead affirms how quantum theory contributes to human intellect and computer science technologies. Topics include how misconceptions about quantum theory's utility are rooted in the philosophical tradition of logical positivism, and how the quantum world provides useful information for developing technologies like entanglement-based cryptography. Additional information is presented on quantum computing. INSETS: Supposed Limits to Quantum Computing -- and How to Break Them;Impossible. . . NOT!.
