What is Quantum Information Science- Quantum mechanics shows that the laws of Nature can be very weird and counter-intuitive when looking at the level of single atoms and single photons so weird, that our understanding of the concept of information needs to be changed. For example - the measurement of two distant particles can yield exactly the same result even when each one of them is completely random and they have no way of interacting or sending information between them (imagine two dice that choose "together" to fall both on the same random number between 1 and 6, even though that one is in Israel and the other in China). This effect, called "Quantum Entanglement" can form the basis for building incredibly fast Quantum Computers that would be able to check million answers in just a thousand trials, for example This field of research is called Quantum Information Science. |
