An introduction to a rapidly developing topic: the theory of
quantum computing. The book begins with the basics of classical
theory of computation: Turing machines, Boolean circuits, parallel
algorithms, probabilistic computation, NP-complete problems, and
the idea of complexity of an algorithm. The second part of the book
provides an exposition of quantum computation theory. It starts
with the introduction of general quantum formalism (pure states,
density matrices, and superoperators), universal gate sets and
approximation theorems. Then the authors study various quantum
computation algorithms: Grover's algorithm, Shor's factoring
algorithm, and the Abelian hidden subgroup problem In concluding
sections, several related topics are discussed (parallel quantum
computation, a quantum analog of NP-completeness, and quantum
error-correcting codes). Rapid development of quantum computing
started in 1994 with a stunning suggestion by Peter Shor to use
quantum computation for factoring large numbers-an extremely
difficult and time-consuming problem when using a conventional
computer.
