Think of wormholes in space or Star Trek transporters that beam atoms to distant locations. Quantum mechanics posits other spooky things too: particles with a mysterious property called <i>superposition<\/i>, which allows them to have a value of one and zero at the same time; and particles\u2019 ability to tunnel through barriers as if they were walking through a wall.<\/p>\n<p>We are making substantial progress in harnessing the power of quantum mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>In theory, Quantum computers can perform 2^512 operations simultaneously.

As do all advancing technologies, they will also create new nightmares. The most worrisome development will be in cryptography.
