A new way of thinking
Quantum information science
Computer science Computational complexity depends on physical law.
Old physicsQuantum mechanics as nag.
The uncertainty principle restricts what can be done.
New physicsQuantum mechanics as liberator. What can be
accomplished with quantum systems that can’t be done in a
classical world?Explore what can be done with quantum systems, instead of
being satisfied with what Nature hands us.

Is it entanglement?
It’s the entanglement, stupid.
But what about?
We need a generalized notion of entanglement /resources that includes information about the physical situation,
particularly the relevant Hamiltonian.

Beyond the Heisenberg limit
The purpose of theorems in physics is to lay out the
assumptions clearly so one can discover which
assumptions have to be violated.
