Ultimate Zero and One: Computing at the Quantum Frontier 2000th Edition by Colin P. Williams | (PDF) Free Download

Description

As miniaturisation deepens, and nanotechnology and its machines become more prevalent in the real world, the need to consider using quantum mechanical concepts to perform various tasks in computation increases. Such tasks include: the teleporting of information, breaking heretofore “unbreakable” codes, communicating with messages that betray eavesdropping, and the generation of random numbers. This is the first book to apply quantum physics to the basic operations of a computer, representing the ideal vehicle for explaining the complexities of quantum mechanics to students, researchers and computer engineers, alike, as they prepare to design and create the computing and information delivery systems for the future. Both authors have solid backgrounds in the subject matter at the theoretical and more practical level. While serving as a text for senior/grad level students in computer science/physics/engineering, this book has its primary use as an up-to-date reference work in the emerging interdisciplinary field of quantum computing – the only prerequisite being knowledge of calculus and familiarity with the concept of the Turing machine.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐This is a great book, but one should be careful with the claim “no physics background needed.”For those who are beginners in science, you are advised to *first read* some sort of basicintroduction to quantum, such as “Idiot’s Guide to Quantum Physics ”

⭐or one I like, for example the classic Nick Herbert ‘Quantum Reality”

⭐( If you study the latter, you should read at least up through chapter 6 ).If you already have at least some clue about quantum and you are not a complete beginner, thenthis book is excellent, and really offers a beautiful introduction to the field of quantum computers.Enjoy!

⭐I thought it was well explained and comprehensive as a beginner to this topic

⭐Williams has framed the conundrum posed by the quest for higher and higher speeds and smaller and smaller formats for computing in an excellent statement of the problem and an intriguing response. If capable of being implemented, this seminal book for the scientifically oriented lay person, posits an entirely new way to look at computing and telecommunications, using current knowledge and its extensions concerning quantum physics, to outline a design for computers and communicators (teleporters?) of the future. As he states, at the present pace of computing speed development, we will be at the ultimate speed and molecular level in approximately the year 2028. Then what? Quantum computing. The book is also an intriguing teaser for venture capitalists, who may wish to get in on the bottom line in this endeavor. The rewards, if achievable, are almost boundless. It is interesting to note that a cover of the new magazine SKEPTIC pans quantum cmechanics,, by relegating its image to the label of an elixir bottle. Is this another “fountain of youth?” or “cold fusion?” The author makes a strong, if not somewhat complex case for a negative response to that question. This is a must read for cutting edge thinkers both in the realm of computing and physics and deserves a studied analysis. Highly recommended.

⭐If you are interested in the promising field of quantum computing, this one is the primer to read. It’s very well written, coherent, and goes deep enough as to challenge the reader’s mind. However, don’t be intimidated by the math. Even if one skips the mathematical concepts the reader will be able to understand the book and more importantly the concepts behind it. Good read, good buy.

⭐This book covers some interesting material; I especially liked the chapter which discussed obtaining the results of a quantum computation without actually running the computer. The authors also give some very complete explanations of fundamental concepts such as the workings of a quantum logic gate and RSA encryption. However, their explanations are also riddled with errors and undefined notation. Often, they will spend a great deal of time explaning rather trivial things, then in the next paragraph introduce the next step with a new notation and not define it!! The result is that the calculations are often hard to follow.This book is a good read for those interesting in learning about the basics of quantum computers, but look elsewhere for a more rigourous treatment of the mathematics of quantum computing.

⭐In spite of many interesting subjects described in the book, explanations about fundamentals of quantum theory seem to me quite insufficient, as like as they had been written in a hurry. I would have not understood many issues quoted in the book if I had not read before other publications about paradoxes raised by quantum physics. Another very strange choice is to place the chapter about interaction-free measurement at last, while I think this property is a necessary basic for a better understanding of properties of entanglement, above which the whole building of quantum computing relies. So, I wonder how readers without a previous knowledge of basic subjects can have dealt with the problems the book tries to explain. Surely, this book has been written for nonspecialists, as the editorial review states, but, taking into account the poor effort employed in explaining quantum theory, it could have detailed more facets about computing, and simply referencing other textbooks for physics arguments.

⭐Really an outstanding book, useful for students, researchers, engineers and enthusiasts amidst the Quantum Technology revolution we are experiencing.

⭐Quantum computation is just like digital computer but with Quantum processor.It’s gate that instruct electron state to give output (but can’t be compromise for photonic i.e. god ).
