Quantum information and computation is a rapidly expanding and
cross-disciplinary subject. This book, first published in 2006,
gives a self-contained introduction to the field for physicists,
mathematicians and computer scientists who want to know more about
this exciting subject. After a step-by-step introduction to the
quantum bit (qubit) and its main properties, the author presents
the necessary background in quantum mechanics. The core of the
subject, quantum computation, is illustrated by a detailed
treatment of three quantum algorithms: Deutsch, Grover and Shor.
The final chapters are devoted to the physical implementation of
quantum computers, including the most recent aspects, such as
superconducting qubits and quantum dots, and to a short account of
quantum information. Written at a level suitable for undergraduates
in physical sciences, no previous knowledge of quantum mechanics is
assumed, and only elementary notions of physics are required. The
book includes many short exercises, with solutions available to
instructors through
