'The book is a useful compendium of most significant topics in
quantum information and computation … It is readable by any
undergraduate or graduate student in physics, mathematics, computer
science, chemistry or engineering … The book has a simple,
attractive, easy to grasp and systematic treatment, with the final
goal to be used as a substantial wide-ranging primer and single
comprehensive material for quantum computation and information
without the need for consulting supplementary texts.'Contemporary
PhysicsQuantum computation and information is a rapidly developing
interdisciplinary field. It is not easy to understand its
fundamental concepts and central results without facing numerous
technical details. This book provides the reader with a useful
guide. In particular, the initial chapters offer a simple and
self-contained introduction; no previous knowledge of quantum
mechanics or classical computation is required.Various important
aspects of quantum computation and information are covered in
depth, starting from the foundations (the basic concepts of
computational complexity, energy, entropy, and information, quantum
superposition and entanglement, elementary quantum gates, the main
quantum algorithms, quantum teleportation, and quantum
cryptography) up to advanced topics (like entanglement measures,
quantum discord, quantum noise, quantum channels, quantum error
correction, quantum simulators and tensor networks).It can be used
as a broad range textbook for a course in quantum information and
computation, both for upper-level undergraduate students and for
graduate students. It contains a large number of solved exercises,
which are an essential complement to the text, as they will help
the student to become familiar with the subject. The book may also
be useful as general education for readers who want to know the
fundamental principles of quantum information and computation and
who have the basic background acquired from their undergraduate
course in physics, mathematics, or computer science, as well as for
researchers interested in some of the latest spin-off of the field,
including the use of quantum information in the theories of
many-body systems.
