Written by noted quantum computing theorist Scott Aaronson, this book takes readers on a tour through some of the deepest ideas of maths, computer science and physics. Full of insights, arguments and philosophical perspectives, the book covers an amazing array of topics. Beginning in antiquity with Democritus, it progresses through logic and set theory, computability and complexity theory, quantum computing, cryptography, the information content of quantum states and the interpretation of quantum mechanics. There are also extended discussions about time travel, Newcomb's Paradox, the anthropic principle and the views of Roger Penrose. Aaronson's informal style makes this fascinating book accessible to readers with scientific backgrounds, as well as students and researchers working in physics, computer science, mathematics and philosophy.

1. No child would dislike time travel (maybe there are, this is just expressing an emotion) Why can't a time machine of a certain size be built? Is this a metaphor or really impossible? -A time machine is a hypothetical device that can allow people or objec...

跑sql时慢慢翻完的，好书，作者是这方面的大师，没有关于量子计算的具体算法，是从更大的尺度解释量子计算，或者说解释计算复杂度相关的问题，最后还谈到自由意志，时间旅行等等，很多例子都很有趣。

书里的内容远超我的理解范围，了解不到十分之一。这本书可作为一个目录来读，指向的是整个科学领域，需要花一辈子时间学习。

打着“Quantum Computing”的旗号，到第九章才进入正题，这是唠叨还是准备充分？我且问，“选择公理”用区区一两页纸能讲清楚？如果懂的为什么要看？如果看了也不懂为何要看？必须承认作者有很多的思想与洞见想要表达。但这并不能因此说明这本是好书。每一章的标题都很吸引人，可惜我不认为能讲得清楚。我很确定“Crypto”这一章并不怎么样行！

看作者的博客，时隔七年，要出中文和日文版了，此前是英文和俄文版。其实定位比较尴尬，量子信息这种东西，没有量子力学、计算理论以及信息论基础的话我觉得就别费那个劲了。有点基础的，他后来同题还有新讲义，博客上都能找到。
