Quantum Computing and Communications by Michael Brooks (PDF)

Description

The first handbook to provide a comprehensive inter-disciplinary overview of QCC. It includes peer-reviewed definitions of key terms such as Quantum Logic Gates, Error Correction, Quantum Dots, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Quantum Holography, and Quantum Cryptography. There are also reports on major application areas, principles of QCC, and targets, benchmarks and challenges, making this an invaluable buy for any university department with this exciting new topic in its curriculum. It equally provides a unique overview of a fast-moving and multidisciplinary topic for researchers, students, lecturers, and even the interested amateur.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐A good book, but not professionally typeset,which is a pity given that TeX has been aroundfor so long. Good content, but not as perceptive as someother books.

⭐This book is pretty stupid. I bought the book thinking that it would be a good introduction to quantum computing, but the authod does not go into any mathematically rigorous arguments.

⭐Michael Brooks’s book is easily the best place to start if, like me, you want to more about quantum computing. There are good, basic introductions to mos aspects of the subject: the physics and the computer science. There are lectures by enthusiasts, and one by the sceptic, Rolf Landauer. In all, a very good thing for Michael Brooks to have done.

⭐Michael Brooks does an excellent job of editing a summarization of quantum computing. It is by far the best book on none traditional computing I’ve read, and I’ve bought & read them all. The book is obviously intended for the public, it dispenses with deep mathematical formulae. Yet, it contains ample scientific information for the traditional computer scientist like myself.If you enjoyed K. C. Cole’s “The Universe and the Teacup” and/or “First You Build a Cloud”, you will also enjoy “Quantum Computing and Communications”.He has distilled a vast amount of highly technical knowledge into an easily readable compilation; I enthusiastically read it during two flights and one airport delay. He presents the positive side but also gives due space to the pessimists of quantum computing. His inclusion of the economic perspective of quantum computing by R. Stanley Williams, Director of Basic Research for Hewlett Packard Laboratories, was a stroke of genius. When reading science literature I normally skip the economic “trivia” in favor of the more interesting “core”. But this time I was so engrossed in what had already been read that I just kept right on reading and learned more than anticipated.
