"Every so often," says Isaac Chuang, sitting in his office at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, "something new comes along in physics, and everybody says Wow!' Then they get caught up in a whirlwind." In the 1970s, the whirlwind was chaos theory. In the late 1980s, it was high-temperature superconductivity. And now?
"Quantum computing," says Chuang, a slender, soft-spoken physicist who has already emerged as one of the leaders in this esoteric-sounding field with potentially enormous impact.

Manufacturing in the United States is in trouble. That's bad news not just for the country's economy but for the future of innovation.
This document is part of the “How-To Guide for Most Common Measurements” centralized resource portal. This tutorial provides a detailed guide for measurement and device considerations to take temperature measurements using thermocouples. Get an introduction to thermocouples, which are inexpensive sensing devices widely used with PC-based data acquisition systems. Also review some specific thermocouple examples and learn how thermocouples work and ways to integrate them into a data acquisition measurement system.
