In the 1990's it was realized that quantum physics has some
spectacular applications in computer science. This book is a
concise introduction to quantum computation, developing the basic
elements of this new branch of computational theory without
assuming any background in physics. It begins with an introduction
to the quantum theory from a computer-science perspective. It
illustrates the quantum-computational approach with several
elementary examples of quantum speed-up, before moving to the major
applications: Shor's factoring algorithm, Grover's search
algorithm, and quantum error correction. The book is intended
primarily for computer scientists who know nothing about quantum
theory, but will also be of interest to physicists who want to
learn the theory of quantum computation, and philosophers of
science interested in quantum foundational issues. It evolved
during six years of teaching the subject to undergraduates and
graduate students in computer science, mathematics, engineering,
and physics, at Cornell University.
