The purpose of this monograph is to provide the mathematically
literate reader with an accessible introduction to the theory of
quantum computing algorithms, one component of a fascinating and
rapidly developing area which involves topics from physics,
mathematics, and computer science. The author briefly describes the
historical context of quantum computing and provides the
motivation, notation, and assumptions appropriate for quantum
statics, a non-dynamical, finite dimensional model of quantum
mechanics. This model is then used to define and illustrate quantum
logic gates and representative subroutines required for quantum
algorithms. A discussion of the basic algorithms of Simon and of
Deutsch and Jozsa sets the stage for the presentation of Grover's
search algorithm and Shor's factoring algorithm, key algorithms
which crystallized interest in the practicality of quantum
computers. A group theoretic abstraction of Shor's algorithms
completes the discussion of algorithms.The last third of the book
briefly elaborates the need for error- correction capabilities and
then traces the theory of quantum error- correcting codes from the
earliest examples to an abstract formulation in Hilbert space. This
text is a good self-contained introductory resource for newcomers
to the field of quantum computing algorithms, as well as a useful
self-study guide for the more specialized scientist, mathematician,
graduate student, or engineer. Readers interested in following the
ongoing developments of quantum algorithms will benefit
particularly from this presentation of the notation and basic
theory.
