Recenzje

"The book allows for people with different backgrounds to understand the building blocks of these two research fields, providing for a well-structured pedagogical basis on which both undergraduate and graduate students, lecturers and researchers from different academic backgrounds can learn the main foundations of quantum computer science. ... On its whole, the work is well organized, extensive and a relevant reference for both lecturers and researchers on quantum computation and quantum information science." (Carlos Pedro Gonçalves, zbMath 1410.81002, 2019)
