Frank Wilczek, Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology web.mit.edu/physics/people/faculty/wilczek_frank.html Quantum theory radically transforms our fundamental understanding of physical reality. It reveals that the world contains a hidden richness of structure that we have barely begun to control and exploit. In this lecture, Frank Wilczek indicates the extraordinary potential of quantum engineering (the size and nature of Hilbert space); reviews one important ongoing effort to harness it (topological quantum computing); and speculates on its ultimate prospects (quantum minds). This lecture was part of the Institute for Advanced Study's celebration of its eightieth anniversary, and took place during the events related to the Schools of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
