Quantum Computing 1st Edition by Mika Hirvensalo | (PDF) Free Download

Description

The book is devoted to quantum computing, a new, multidisciplinary research area crossing quantum mechanics, theoretical computer science and mathematics. It contains an introduction to quantum computing as well as the most important recent results on the topic. Two famous algorithms, fast factorization and Grover search, are presented in separate chapters because these inventions are important structurally and developmentally. Unlike previous books which are mainly physics-oriented this book presents the topic in a computer science-oriented uniform way. This makes the theory of quantum computation accessible to a larger audience, including also the mathematics-oriented readers.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐There is, by now, some variety of textbooks to choose from, covering quantum computing and quantum information;– the output of research papers has been explosive since Peter Shor discovered his algorithm. Two books stand out as being especially ready for use in the class room, the one by Nielsen-Chuang, and the present one by Hirvensalo. The first covers more ground in physics (theory), and has a bigger selection of exercises;– the second stresses the math and the CS side of the subject;– it has more worked examples. It can be readily used in the classroom in a one semester course, and it will go over well with students in both math and in CS. The level is even, and a beginning student can progress in steps, following the text, and doing the exercises.

⭐This book provides a good intro to Quantum Computing for beginners, plus it gives a clear presentation of the current results to more advanced readers. It does, to put it in the author’s words, provides a good bridge between quantum mechanics and the theory of computation. It covers the basics, Turing Machines, some Theory of Computation, Shor’s factorization algorithm, Grover’s Method, etc.It also has some helpful appendices for beginners in the end.Quantum Algorithms are covered fairly well, but as the author himself acknowledges, Qm. Info. theory, Qm. Communication, Qm. error Correcting, Qm. Crypto. etc are not covered.On the whole, a good read. Highly recommended.
