Sample excerpt: "Hopes that digital physics might be resurrected in some form rose in the early 1980s, when Richard Feynman proposed that the blatant gap between the power and information content of quantum theory and that of classical computers might be bridged by a new type of computer. His idea was born out of frustration at seeing classical computers take weeks to simulate quantum-physics experiments that happen faster than a blink of an eye. Intuitively, he felt that the job of simulating quantum systems could be done better by a computer that was itself a quantum system."
