Description: xiv, 220 p. : ill. ; 25 cmISBN: 9780521876582 (cased); 0521876583 (cased)Subject(s): Quantum computers | Quantum theoryDDC classification: 004.1 LOC classification: QA76.889 | .M47 2007Online resources: Publisher description | Table of contents only | Contributor biographical information | WorldCat details | E-Book Fulltext

Contents:

TOC A note on references -- Cbits and Qbits: What is a quantum computer? ; Cbits and their states ; Reversible operations on Cbits ; Manipulating operations on Cbits ; Qbits and their states ; Reversible operations on Qbits ; Circuit diagrams ; Measurement gates and the Born rule ; The generalized Born rule ; Measurement gates and state preparation ; Constructing arbitrary 1- and 2-Qbit states ;

Summary: Summary: This book is a concise introduction to quantum computation, developing the basic elements of this new branch of computational theory without assuming any background in physics. It begins with an introduction to the quantum theory from a computer-science perspective. It illustrates the quantum-computational approach with several elementary examples of quantum speed-up, before moving to the major applications...The book is intended primarily for computer scientists who know nothing about quantum theory, but will also be of interest to physicists who want to learn the theory of quantum computation, and philosophers of science interested in quantum foundational issues. -- From publisher's description.
