A self-contained treatment of the fundamentals of quantum computing
This clear, practical book takes quantum computing out of the realm of theoretical physics and teaches the fundamentals of the field to students and professionals who have not had training in quantum computing or quantum information theory, including computer scientists, programmers, electrical engineers, mathematicians, physics students, and chemists. The author cuts through the conventions of typical jargon-laden physics books and instead presents the material through his unique "how-to" approach and friendly, conversational style.
Readers will learn how to carry out calculations with explicit details and will gain a fundamental grasp of:
*
Quantum mechanics
*
Quantum computation
*
Teleportation
*
Quantum cryptography
*
Entanglement
*
Quantum algorithms
*
Error correction
A number of worked examples are included so readers can see how quantum computing is done with their own eyes, while answers to similar end-of-chapter problems are provided for readers to check their own work as they learn to master the information.
Ideal for professionals and graduate-level students alike, Quantum Computing Explained delivers the fundamentals of quantum computing readers need to be able to understand current research papers and go on to study more advanced quantum texts.

And the Lord God made Adam and for hic wife garments of skin, and clothed them, Then the Lord God szuI, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he put forth hic hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for eve?- therefore the Lord God sent hn forth from the garden of Eden, ... he placed afiaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. - Genesic 3:21-24 In Book I, Garment of Skin, biotehcnology had enabled man to slip past the flaming sword. He has broken through to the Tree of Life and eaten of its fruit. But now the soul in trapped in the garment of skin, and this curse brought about by the hubris of science is poised to spread like a plague throughout all humanity.
