Opis

While there are many available textbooks on quantum information theory, most are either too technical for beginners or not complete enough. Filling the gap, this book gives a clear, self-contained introduction to quantum computation and communication. Exploring recent developments and open questions in the field, it prepares readers for further study and helps them understand more advanced texts and journal papers. Along with thought-provoking cartoons and brief biographies of key players in the field, each chapter includes examples, references, exercises, and problems with detailed solutions.

Recenzje

"For the beginning student in quantum computation, the text is particularly useful for its breadth, background, and computations. The book covers the basic topics in enough depth and detail for students to continue on to research papers. The book can also be used as a reference for the fully worked computational problems as they demonstrate the common computational techniques in quantum computation that are usually referred to without reference in journal articles."
