Antimatter is interesting because it is the most powerful possible explosive.  However, it's usefulness is limited by it's extream cost, and even with advances in technology that cost will remain very high.

Re: Antimatter Bomb - Air Force working Antimatter develoment

I have always wondered what it would take to create an Anti-matter rocket. Could we use the extreme heat created in the annihalation of matter to heat up a water or similar source and the pressure ejected give us enough thrust or could something else be done.
