From The Economist print edition
Computing is driving the philosophical understanding of quantum theory
FOR evidence of the power of simplicity, you need look no further than
a computer. Everything it does is based on the manipulation of binary
digits, or bits—units of information that can be either 0 or 1. Using
logical operations to combine those 0s and 1s allows computers to add,
multiply and divide, and from there go on to achieve all the feats of
the digital age. But at each step of the complex operations involved,
each bit has a definite value.
