DESCRIPTION:
They describe what a quantum computer is, how it can be used to solve problems faster than familiar "classical" computers, and the real-world implementation of quantum computers. Their book concludes with an explanation of how quantum states can be used to perform remarkable feats of communication, and of how it is possible to protect quantum states against the effects of noise.. A wealth of accompanying figures and exercises illustrate and develop the material in more depth. In this first comprehensive introduction to the main ideas and techniques of quantum computation and information, Michael Nielsen and Isaac Chuang ask the question: What are the ultimate physical limits to computation and communication? They detail such remarkable effects as fast quantum algorithms, quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum error correction
Dr. He received his doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1997, where he was a Hertz Foundation Fellow, and holds two bachelors degrees and one masters degree in physics and electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Michael Nielsen was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1974, and was educated at the University of Queensland, obtaining postgraduate degrees in mathematics and physics, be
A book that repays study Stephen K. Parrott My first acquaintance with this book came from a copy which I ordered through interlibrary loan after seeing favorable comments on the internet. The loan period was only two weeks, so I wasn't able to study this 600-page book in detail. But I learned quite a bit just by skimming it. After I saw that it was a book that would repay study, I purchased it.The first chapter of 58 pages nicely introduces many of the important ideas, leaving the more difficult details to later chapters. For example, I learned about quantum teleportation, which I had never. Excellent for startup on QC Dalibor Hrg I'm an undergraduate student in Computer Science, doing my Diploma (BS/MS) thesis on Quantum Computing and Algorithms. If you are computer scientist, mathematician or physicist and you want some startup information, this is the book you are looking for. Although, the book doesn't assume that you have appropriate background on mathematics or computer science, it will be good that you have some affiliation with linear algebra, tensor calculus and basic computational complexity concepts. The book is excellent for self study and research, containing ma. "Complete and didactical" according to J. R. Iglesias. It is a book for specialists. In order to fully appreciate the contents you should have a physics, maths or computation science diploma. It contains a good introduction on Quantum mechanics, but for people that have already assited an introductory course on the field. Concerning the main subject: quantum computation, this book is the most complete review of the field and also suitable for a course on QC.
Such a self-guided tour can keep one from getting lost in details and can provide a rewarding journeyNielsen and Chuang have set a high standard." Science"Michael Nielsen and Issac L. It is very well written and a pleasure to read." /s Physics Today"highly readable, thorough, and timely survey of the feild of theorectical quantum information scienceprobably destained to become a standard text for researchersThe authors rightly choose to examine key issues in depth rather than attempt a mile-wide, inch-deep, catholic approachis very well written and a pleasure to read."
