Quantum computation and quantum information / Michael A. Nielsen and Isaac L. Chuang.

By: Nielsen, Michael A, 1974-.
Contributor(s): Chuang, Isaac L, 1968-.
Publisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2000Description: xxv, 676 p. ; 26 cm.ISBN: 0521635039.Subject(s): Quantum computersDDC classification: 004.1
Contents:
Preface. - Acknowledgements. - Nomenclature and notation. - Pt. I. Fundamental concepts. 1. Introduction and overview. 2. Introduction to quantum mechancis. 3. Introduction to computer science. - Pt. II. Quantum computation. 4. Quantum circuits. 5. The quantum Fourier transform and its applications. 6. Quantum search algorithms. 7. Quantum computers : physical realization. - Pt. III. Quantum information. 8. Quantum noise and quantum operations. 9. Distance measures for quantum information. 10. Quantum error-correction. 11. Entrophy and information. 12. Quantum information theory. - Appendices. Appendix 1. Notes on basic probability theory. Appendix 2. Group theory. Appendix 3. The Solovay-Kitaev theorem. Appendix 4. Number theory. Appendix 5. Public key cryptography and the RSA cryptosystem. Appendix 6. Proof of Lieb's theorem. - Bibliography. - Index.
Summary: This text is a comprehensive introduction to the main ideas and techniques of the field of quantum computation and quantum information. Until now, the rapid rate of progress and its cross-disciplinary nature have made it difficult for newcomers to the field to obtain a broad overview of the most important techniques and results. This text will be of interest to beginning graduate students and researchers in physics, computer science, mathematics, and electrical engineering with an interset in quantum computation and quatum information, and may be used as a text in courses on the subject. - Back cover.
