The January 2000 issue of Physics Today deals with Quantum Computers and their details in two highly recommendable articles. First, on pp. 20, Richard Fitzgerald introduces the interested observers to the debate over the power of quantum computation. He points to several very recent references of interest. To name a few: Braunstein et al. in Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 1054 (1999), the website called Quick Reviews in Quantum Computation and Information, and two detailed online documents on the LANL server - Good dynamics versus bad kinematics. Is entanglement needed for quantum computation? by Noah Linden, Sandu Popescu and Quantum search without entanglement by Seth Lloyd. Second, on pp. 38, Joel Birnbaum and R. Stanley Williams (re)introduce the reader to Moore's laws, ENIAC, Rolf Landauer's arguments for the fundamental limits of computation as well as the amazing defect tolerance of modern technology. Conclusion: those companies that convert the fundamental breakthroughs (yet to occur....) into a manufacturable technology will be the survivors of the quantum age of information processing. |

Units Funny enough, many tables will provide values in "Steinkohleneinheiten" (SKE) which are the energy equivalent of based on black coal burning with 29,31 MJ/kg. Hence 1 kg SKE = 8,14 kWh. Developed countries - efficiencies Let us think - what does it mean to be a
developed nation ? Based on the data from [1] we find that
the US needs about 1000 times as much energy per person as Chad does. At the
same time Chad's gross national product per person is roughly 100 times lower
than the US'. Funny enough this tells us that the developed country USA is
10 times less efficient as Chad in ints energy use. The example of
Austria is just to show how Europe is also doing rather badly when compared
to Chad, but it outdoes the US by roughly a factor of 2. Obviously there are
MANY facts that explain this situation BUT they will not change the nEntity

Traditional semiconductor manufactureres
will have to face the obvious challenges of making chips faster, smaller, and
cheaper. However, one of the major additional challenges will be the
inclusion of new functionalities on the chips. This Section will attempt to
review these trends as they are available in public. Obviously undisclosed
strategy considerations of companies in the field will not be subject of this
summary. |

Controlling biological growth mechanisms is fascinating for at least three different aspects:
The application of the knowledge described will (hopefully) provoke many ethical debates since we will touch very sensitive ground of human life and of our environment. But by now we have understood that significant progress will always provide us with new tools and will challenge our ability to restrict their use. Genetic engineering is one step towards the control of growth since it allows us to interfer with the roadmap of a living organism. However, at this time, genetic engineering means to choose between different roadmaps or to observe some interference between different segments of roadmaps. However we are not at a level of control where we can deliberately control:
of growth deliberately at any given time. Hopefully scientists will be able to
restrict themselves to first reduce the complexity of the problem and study
the issue at its roots without disgusting animal experiments which produce
gruesome and sometimes amazing results, then leading to wild assumptions
without touching the issue in its focus. |

Luckily I am among those people who earn the equivalent of one $ comparatively easily. Often I am addressed by people who beg for money. How do we decide NOT to give or to give ? All suggestions welcome!..do not hesitate to send me an e-mail at willi_graupner@yahoo.com. I promise to publish the most helpfull suggestions. |

For an engineer the term "dynamic range" defines the region of "strength" where a system performs well and reliably - from very very weak to very very strong. Friedrich Gulda defines this term in this recording for non-engineers. |
