The universe is made of bits. The way in which the universe registers and processes information determines what it is and how it behaves. This book shows how the information processing power of the universe can be harnessed to build quantum computers and reveals how the computational ability of the universe promotes the evolution of life.
The universe is made of bits and every piece of the universe registers bits of information. The author calls this understanding of the universe in terms of information processing. He shows how all physical systems register information. He gives an account of how information is stored and processed at the level of electrons, atoms, and molecules.
