Melody Murray's Books

Quantum mechanics meets Star Trek. Fascinating look at what is possible now, and what might become possible before too much longer. There's also a reasonably simple overview of quantum cryptography and of quantum computing. When I say 'reasonably simple' I mean that I only had to read some pages 2 or 3 times before I grasped them. This is one of those books that makes me feel about as smart as a beagle at certain points. Just pat me on the head and give me something to nosh on, stop with the equations already. But I slogged on, and the light would come back on, and I'd be human again. For me, reading physics is like the long foggy walk up the hill- there are periods of clarity followed by much more extensive periods of fog. Well worth the effort. There were a few very distracting typos in the edition I had, including "heath death" which kept me thinking of the Universe disappearing under chocolate-covered toffee.
