The indispensable guide for investing in luxury watches. Build a watch collection that will not only grow in value but also bring joy on the wrist. According to Bloomberg, multiple luxury watches have outperformed vintage cars, Bitcoin and other crypto currencies in 2022. Market prices for some Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet references have more than doubled over the past two years and auction records keep being set month after month. In the watchmaking industry, knowledge is power and properly navigating this landmine is key to make wise investment decisions. With Invest in Watches: The Art of Watch Collecting you will understand the crucial elements to realize good watch investments by learning what makes a worthy investment, how to properly estimate the value of a watch, how to sell a watch at a profit, what are the costs of owning a watch, how to acquire a watch on a wait list, how to buy at auctions, tips for watch repair and many more including a list of watches (and clocks) to keep on the radar. Not only providing concrete examples of valuable watch investments, Invest in Watches: The Art of Watch Collecting is also a journey in the fascinating world of horology through the eyes of a watch collector whose passion is contagious. Both modern and vintage watches are covered and whether a watch expert or complete beginner, you will discover hundreds of watches to invest in from brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Omega, Tag Heuer and many more including independent watchmakers. “Investors who earned big returns in tech stocks and crypto currencies are now looking to pre-owned watches as the next hot asset class”. —Bloomberg "A great read and strongly recommended for those interested in taking their luxury watch collecting to the next level and unpacking the booming trading value of select pieces." —Teddy Baldassarre "Don't ask me which watch to buy, just go get the book!" —Andrea Casalegno, IamCasa "Rarely have I been so enthusiastic about a book. It has a clear and understandable structure and is well researched and prepared.

Written by a renowned quantum physicist closely involved in the U.S. government's development of quantum information science, this book presents an inside look at the government's quest to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex mathematical problems and hacking the public-key encryption codes used to secure the Internet. The "killer app" refers to Shor's quantum factoring algorithm, which would unveil the encrypted communications of the entire Internet if a quantum computer could be built to run the algorithm. Schrodinger's notion of quantum entanglement-and his infamous cat-is at the heart of it all.

The race is on to construct the first quantum code breaker, as the winner will hold the key to the entire Internet. From international, multibillion-dollar financial transactions to top-secret government communications, all would be vulnerable to the secret-code-breaking ability of the quantum computer. Written by a renowned quantum physicist closely involved in the U.S. government’s development of quantum information science, Schrödinger’s Killer App: Race to Build the World’s First Quantum Computer presents an inside look at the government’s quest to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex mathematical problems and hacking the public-key encryption codes used to secure the Internet. The "killer application" refers to Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm, which would unveil the encrypted communications of the entire Internet if a quantum computer could be built to run the algorithm. Schrödinger’s notion of quantum entanglement—and his infamous cat—is at the heart of it all. The book develops the concept of entanglement in the historical context of Einstein’s 30-year battle with the physics community over the true meaning of quantum theory. It discusses the remedy to the threat posed by the quantum code breaker: quantum cryptography, which is unbreakable even by the quantum computer. The author also covers applications to other important areas, such as quantum physics simulators, synchronized clocks, quantum search engines, quantum sensors, and imaging devices. In addition, he takes readers on a philosophical journey that considers the future ramifications of quantum technologies. Interspersed with amusing and personal anecdotes, this book presents quantum computing and the closely connected foundations of quantum mechanics in an engaging manner accessible to non-specialists. Requiring no formal training in physics or advanced mathematics, it explains difficult topics, including quantum entanglement, Schrödinger’s cat, Bell’s inequality, and quantum computational complexity, using simple analogies.
