One
of the most cited books in physics of all time, Quantum Computation and
Quantum Information remains the best textbook in this exciting field of
science. This 10th anniversary edition includes an introduction from
the authors setting the work in context. This comprehensive textbook
describes such remarkable effects as fast quantum algorithms, quantum
teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum error-correction.
Quantum mechanics and computer science are introduced before moving on
to describe what a quantum computer is, how it can be used to solve
problems faster than ‘classical' computers and its real-world
implementation. It concludes with an in-depth treatment of quantum
information. Containing a wealth of figures and exercises, this
well-known textbook is ideal for courses on the subject, and will
interest beginning graduate students and researchers in physics,
computer science, mathematics, and electrical engineering.
