Elements of Quantum Computation and Quantum Communication

While there are many available textbooks on quantum information theory, most are either too technical for beginners or not complete enough. Filling the gap, this book gives a clear, self-contained introduction to quantum computation and communication. Exploring recent developments and open questions in the field, it prepares readers for further study and helps them understand more advanced texts and journal papers. Along with thought-provoking cartoons and brief biographies of key players in the field, each chapter includes examples, references, exercises, and problems with detailed solutions.

List of contents

Introduction and Overview. Basic Ideas of Classical and Quantum Computational Models and Complexity Classes. Mathematical Tools and Simple Quantum Mechanics Required for Quantum Computing.
