Toshiba is developing a new approach to information technology that applies the fundamental laws of Quantum Physics to network communications and computing. Quantum Information Technology concerns the transport and processing of information using individual particles such as electrons or photons. Using single particles in this way brings unexpected advantages. By sending information encoded upon single photons (the particles of light) it is possible to test the secrecy of each communication.
Wiley-VCH is currently preparing the launch of a new journal, Advanced Quantum Technologies (www.advquantumtech.com). The journal is now open for submission
