Quantum information science (QIS) is a relatively young field of study, with roots in physics, computer science, and mathematics. It has yielded rich ideas and tools that have shed light on the nature of, and relationship between, computation and physical laws.
At the same time, the quest for quantum computers and quantum communications systems has led to a wealth of interesting technological developments, which may one day lead to society-shifting breakthroughs.
