Quantum Computation and Quantum Information: 10th Anniversary Edition by Michael A. Nielsen | (PDF) Free Download

Description

One of the most cited books in physics of all time, Quantum Computation and Quantum Information remains the best textbook in this exciting field of science. This 10th anniversary edition includes an introduction from the authors setting the work in context. This comprehensive textbook describes such remarkable effects as fast quantum algorithms, quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum error-correction. Quantum mechanics and computer science are introduced before moving on to describe what a quantum computer is, how it can be used to solve problems faster than ‘classical’ computers and its real-world implementation. It concludes with an in-depth treatment of quantum information. Containing a wealth of figures and exercises, this well-known textbook is ideal for courses on the subject, and will interest beginning graduate students and researchers in physics, computer science, mathematics, and electrical engineering.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is required reading for anyone who wants to understand quantum computing — with the emphasis on “understand”.

⭐This book is definitely THE source to turn to for an understanding of Quantum Computation and Information. One can only read through the first chapter and you are given the key feature of Quantum Computation and Information. The advantage of this approach is that Chapter 1 establishes a Quantum roadmap of what you need to know. You can stop there or you can dive deeper into the technology. Using the remaining chapters as a reference or continuation of course studies.But, it is the 10th Edition and I would have liked to see some new information associated with current trends in Quantum Computing. For examples: 1) Adiabatic verses Gate Arrays, 2) Quantum instructions examples, whether it is by circuit manipulation or by an Objective function, 3) A review section on quantum Notations (logic, Bra-kets, linear algebra) to help readers get back into it again.This is THE book for those interested in finding out what is Quantum computers, but go slow with the first chapter and use the internet to clarify topics that are new to you, or to just refresh your memory. If you can skip through Chapter 1, you don’t need the book.

⭐This is the standard book in Quantum Computing, so you must own it if you are serious about the subject. Unfortunately after the first chapter it becomes very dense very fast and is hard to learn from. I treat this as a reference and learn from other books.

⭐Great book in Great condition.

⭐I bought several titles to get introduced to quantum computing… thinking that this one would be the text but adding some hopefully more accessible intros… turns out that this title is actually the best intro as well as the best reference! this title helps motivated the reader into looking at quantum from its own lens instead of trying to start from classic references or spending chapters on a review of linear algebra. I recommend new students to the subject start with this book.

⭐I’m going through this book very thoroughly, problem-by-problem. I found their appendices on probability and group theory, and their part in chapter 2 on linear algebra, to be extremely well-done. The authors manage to be concise without being dense. For that alone, I give 5 stars. The style is conversational but direct, and very enjoyable in my opinion.

⭐This is not an easy read. But I got started in QC and go the hard copy due to complaints about the digital version. In hindsight being able to put tabs on pages on a book this big is probably easier than managing it electronically.Lots of material in this book. Unfortunately the only QC I have access too doesn’t have a lot of qbits.

⭐Great book

⭐The book was recommended to me.The first few pages are OK. I hold a degree from Oxford in Physics, and I am well above average intelligence.But then it goes downhill. The authors are clearly incapable of restraining their urge to do engineering as a mathematical discipline.I flicked ahead a bit to see if it got better. No, it got worse.For university-level mathematicians & theoretical physicists only. You will also need a patient tutor to help you through the book.

⭐My credentials as a self-learner are that I was in the first cohort of Open University students and completed a good First in mathematics. Even though I have not completed this book, it is clearly not for self-learners. This anniversary edition contains a multitude of errata (some quite worrying), the glossary of terms is sadly lacking and there are no solutions provided for the exercises. I find myself frequently having to search the Internet for clarifying material in order to move forward. Although highly rated by university departments, it demands easy access to the equivalent of a lecturer if smooth progress is to be made.

⭐1. This would have been a fantastic book except for the fact that the Kindle edition has miniscule sized equations and figures that are impossible to magnify on the Kindle App on both Android and Windows 10. Basically you cannot read the equations and texts. It is a real pity. I wish I woud get a refund so I can purchase a non Kindle version but after 30 minute misbehavior from Amazon rep on the phone regarding another question regarding the number of licenses on this book, I am exhausted with Amazon. This is from a reader who has spent thousands of pounds on Amazon books in the last few years.2. The other major thing is that if you have both a business account and a personal one, be aware that only the Kindle reading app will make sure that you can’t view both on the same device. A single device must only ever be personal Kindle App, or business Kindle App account (it is the same app). This was the 2nd issue I had.3. Finally, when I tried to download this book on another device as a personal Amazon Kindle, I was told by Amazon rep I must repurchase it even if I have removed from previous device! He and I ended the conversation by both of us agreeing that I am a total moron, and that he is genius!What a satisfactory outcome.

⭐KINDLE EDITION: While the prose is mostly rendered correctly the formulae often are not, resulting in a confused and unhelpful experience. I have been using the kindle app on a laptop to read this book.

⭐Excellent introduction to quantum computation. I am an economist and has no background in the field of physics, but with high school math you are able to follow the presentation and even work out some of the problems. Great buy!!
