It has been demonstrated recently that quantum computers can dramatically speed up the task of finding factors of large numbers—a problem of great practical significance because of its cryptographic applications. By utilizing the ability of a quantum computer to simultaneously follow all of the paths corresponding to distinct classical inputs, one can obtain the solution as a result of coherent quantum interference between the alternatives. Here it is shown how the decoherence process degrades the interference pattern which emerges from the quantum factoring algorithm.

Uses the quantum theory of computation to show that under quantum theory, past-directed time travel would be consistent regardless of the behaviour of time travellers. It would, however, entail travel between universes.

Shows that one can ascertain the presence of an object in some sense without interacting with it. One repeatedly, but weakly, tests for the presence of the object, which would inhibit an otherwise coherent evolution of the interrogating photon. The fraction of "interaction-free" measurements can be arbitrarily close to 1. Using single photons in a Michelson interferometer, the authors have performed a preliminary demonstration of some of these ideas.
