He is a non-stipendiary Visiting Professor in the Department of Atomic and Laser Physics at the Centre for Quantum Computation (CQC) in the Clarendon Laboratory of the University of Oxford. He pioneered the field of quantum computation by being the first person to formulate a description for a quantum Turing machine, as well as specifying an algorithm designed to run on a quantum computer. He is also a proponent of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.<\/p>\n
He laid the foundations of the quantum theory of computation, and has subsequently made or participated in many of the most important advances in the field, including the discovery of the first quantum algorithms, the theory of quantum logic gates and quantum computational networks, the first quantum error-correction scheme, and several fundamental quantum universality results.

The overwhelming majority of theories are rejected because they contain bad explanations, not because they fail experimental tests.<\/strong> Time travel may be achieved one day, or it may not. But if it is, it should not require any fundamental change in world-view, at least for those who broadly share the world view I am presenting in this book.<\/strong> The truly privileged theories are not the ones referring to any particular scale of size or complexity, nor the ones situated at any particular level of the predictive hierarchy, but the ones that contain the deepest explanations.<\/strong> It is possible to build a virtual-reality generator whose repertoire includes every possible environment.<\/strong> Our best theories are not only truer than common sense, they make more sense than common sense.<\/strong> Is the human race a universal constructor?<\/strong> Every problem that is interesting is also soluble.<\/strong> I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn’t forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it.<\/strong> Quantum computation is… a distinctively new way of harnessing nature… It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes.<\/strong> Our best theories are not only truer than common sense, they make more sense than common sense.<\/strong> To say that prediction is the purpose of a scientific theory is to confuse means with ends. It is like saying that the purpose of a spaceship is to burn fuel.<\/strong> Mathematical knowledge may, just like our scientific knowledge, be deep and broad, it may be subtle and wonderfully explanatory, it may be uncontroversially accepted; but it cannot be certain.<\/strong> Since building a universal virtual-reality generator is physically possible, it must actually be built in some universes.<\/strong> The quantum theory of parallel universes is not the problem, it is the solution.<\/strong> A prediction, or any assertion, that cannot be defended might still be true, but an explanation that cannot be defended is not an explanation.<\/strong> Necessary truth is merely the subject-matter of mathematics, not the reward we get for doing mathematics.<\/strong> It is possible to build a virtual-reality generator whose repertoire includes every possible environment.<\/strong> The overwhelming majority of theories are rejected because they contain bad explanations, not because they fail experimental tests.<\/strong> Reality contains not only evidence, but also the means (such as our minds, and our artefacts) of understanding it. There are mathematical symbols in physical reality. The fact that it is we who put them there does not make them any less physical.<\/strong> In the long run, the distinction between what is interesting and what is boring is not a matter of subjective taste but an objective fact.<\/strong> The truly privileged theories are not the ones referring to any particular scale of size or complexity, nor the ones situated at any particular level of the predictive hierarchy\u2014but the ones that contain the deepest explanations.<\/strong> There are mathematical symbols in physical reality. The fact that it is we who put them there does not make them any less physical.<\/strong> What computers can or cannot compute is determined by the laws of physics alone, and not by pure mathematics.<\/strong> Inherently insoluble problems are inherently boring.<\/strong> He is a non-stipendiary Visiting Professor in the Department of Atomic and Laser Physics at the Centre for Quantum Computation (CQC) in the Clarendon Laboratory of the University of Oxford.
