Book Description
This text is the first comprehensive introduction to an exciting new cross-disciplinary field which utilizes the strange effects of quantum mechanics to enable information processing and computing feats that would be impossible on traditional ‘classical’ computers. The authors describe what a quantum computer is, how it can be used to solve problems faster than familiar ‘classical’ computers, and the real-world implementation of quantum computers. This book will provide an in-depth knowledge of the subject to readers without any background in the field.
