As quantum theory celebrates its 100th birthday,
spectacular successes are mixed with outstanding
puzzles and promises of new technologies.
This article reviews both the successes of quantum
theory and the ongoing debate about its consequences
for issues ranging from quantum computation to consciousness,
parallel universes and the nature of physical reality.
We argue that modern experiments and the discovery of
decoherence have have shifted prevailing quantum
interpretations away from wave function collapse
towards unitary physics, and discuss quantum processes
in the framework of a tripartite subject-object-environment
decomposition. We conclude with some speculations on the
bigger picture and the search for a unified theory of
quantum gravity.
