(That paper is still the most downloaded publication from the APS journal archives, 80 years after it was written.) But Greenberger points out that it is, in fact, a vibrant exciting field at the forefront of physics, using all the latest laboratory techniques, and spinning off the newly emerging fields of quantum cryptography and quantum computing.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American Physical Society now has a new topical group, Quantum Information, Concepts, and Computation.
