Introduction to Quantum Information Processing

Product Description

This book introduces quantum computing and quantum communications at the undergraduate level for students in the physical sciences engineering and mathematics assuming no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics. It is a self-contained guide assuming only that the reader is familiar with physics at the college level calculus (up to and including ordinary differential equations) and some matrix algebra and complex numbers. The book brings the reader up to speed with fundamental concepts in quantum information processing and builds a working knowledge of basic quantum algorithms quantum error correction and quantum communication protocols. It covers various models of quantum computation and some …
