David Deutsch : What is our place in the cosmos.
In this rare (and delightfully engaging) public appearance, legendary physicist David Deutsch weaves a complex and captivating argument placing the study of physics at the center of our species' survival. Deutsch is author of The Fabric of Reality and the leading proponent of the multiverse intrepretation of quantum theory - the astounding idea that our universe is constantly spawning countless numbers of parallel worlds.
So much for the words by the officials of TED. In my words, I would say I completely second that. :)

You forgot to mention that David Deutsch formulated the Deutsch Algorithm, a refinement of which became known as the Deutsch Jozsa problem in the field of Quantum Computing (or more precisely, Quantum Complexity Theory). The algorithm is one of the few known algorithms that have an efficient implementation on a quantum computer. In fact, the algorithm is believed to have influenced Shor and Grover both, who came up with factoring and searching algorithms for quantum computers.

Thanks for the link, I have already checked the Shor's algorithm, will check this out as well.
