Quantum computing, or can we live on Mars? (opens in new tab)

Once in a while I get to read a book that has nothing to do with my field. It’s mostly for enjoyment. Not many know that I was an astronomy freak when I was a kid. Somewhere in the middle of my primary school, I read books about red dwarfs, black holes, distant galaxies, and even astrophysics. As I said, I was a freak. Then I discovered computers and my interests changed towards them.
