A self-contained, reader-friendly introduction to the principles and applications of quantum computing
Especially valuable to those without a prior knowledge of quantum mechanics, this electrical engineering text presents the concepts and workings of quantum information processing systems in a clear, straightforward, and practical manner. The book is written in a style that helps readers who are not familiar with non-classical information processing more easily grasp the essential concepts; only prior exposure to classical physics, basic digital design, and introductory linear algebra is assumed.
Quantum Computing: A Beginnerâs Introduction presents each topic in a tutorial style with exam
