Seth Lloyd delves into the mysteries of complex information systems as a professor of mechanical engineering at MIT and a principal investigator at the Research Laboratory of Electronics. He works on problems from the very small-how do atoms process information and how can you make them compute?, to the very large - how does society process information? His seminal work in the fields of quantum computation and quantum communications has gained him a reputation as an innovator and leader in the field of quantum computing
