Quantum computers will revolutionize the way telecommunications networks function.

Quantum computing holds the promise of solving problems that would be intractable with conventional computers by implementing principles from quantum physics in the development of computer hardware, software and communications equipment.

Quantum-assisted computing will be the first step towards full quantum systems, and will cause immense disruption of our traditional networks. The world's biggest manufacturers are investing large amounts of resources to develop crucial quantum-assisted circuits and devices.

"Quantum Computing and Communications: "Gives an overview of basic quantum computing algorithms and their enhanced versions such as efficient database searching, counting and phase estimation.Introduces quantum-assisted solutions for telecom problems including multi-user detection in mobile systems, routing in IP based networks, and secure ciphering key distribution.Includes an accompanying website featuring exercises (with solution manual) and sample algorithms from the classical telecom world, corresponding quantum-based solutions, bridging the gap between pure theory and engineering practice.

This book provides telecommunications engineers, as well as graduate students and researchers in the fields of computer science and telecommunications, with a wide overview of quantum computing & communications and a wealth of essential, practical information.

The authors explain quantum communication theory from an engineering(application) viewpoint including the advanced quantum communication schemes and give an overview on the security of these systems. Each section of the book addresses an area of major researchof quantuminformation theory and quantum communication networks. The authors present the fundamental theoretical results of quantum information theory, and simultaneously present the details of advanced quantum communication protocols with clear mathematical and information theoretical background. The book will describe the engineering principles and questions of advanced communication network, quantum-Internet networks and intelligent quantum-probabilistic network controlling elements. The future quantum communication systems will integrate free-space and fiber-based ccommunication systems; However, the communication between them is the challenge. This book will bridge the gap between quantum physics, quantum information theory and practical engineering.
