They are too numerous to be listed, but I want to thank them all for their help and criticism. Byron Wien, in particular, has gone beyond the call of duty in reading and commenting on, the manuscript at three different stages of develop- ment. Special thanks are due to Antonio Foglia, who generated the graphics that illustrate the real-time experiment. Larry Chiarello supplied the figures. Talso want to thank the team that contributed to the perform- ance of Quantum Fund during the experiment: Bill Ehrman, Gary Gladstein, Tom Larkin, Robert Miller, Steven Okin, Joe Orofino, Stephen Plant, Allan Raphael, and Anne Stires.
