For one-semester first courses in Quantum Computing. An introduction to the subject for undergraduate and graduate students in computer and electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and chemistry. With a clear writing style and matter-of-fact approach, this rigorous yet accessible introduction is designed for students with a solid mathematical background but limited knowledge of physics and quantum mechanics. It introduces the quantum circuit model comprehensively???including the mathematical formalism required for quantum computing???using a methodical approach and an abundance of worked examples.

Features

Emphasis on the quantum circuit model

???Focused presentation makes complex subject matter more accessible to students.

Phenomenological introduction to quantum computing???Motivates students to view the subject as a fundamentally new approach to computing, without the sophisticated mathematical apparatus needed for quantum mechanics.

Detailed analysis and step-by-step calculations???Illustrate the behavior of quantum circuits and algorithms.

Carefully selected set of mathematical and quantum mechanics concepts???Helps students become acquainted with the mathematical formalism required for quantum computing.

Detailed presentation of quantum algorithms???Demonstrates the logic behind the development of Deutsch??s problem, quantum Fourier transform, Shor??s factoring algorithm, Simon??s algorithm for phase estimation, and discrete logarithms evaluation problems, making them easier for students to grasp.
