| Description: |
With derivations, exercises, and solutions, this book examines the theoretical aspects of quantum computing and focuses on several candidates of a working quantum computer, evaluating them according to the DiVincenzo criteria. It covers theoretical tools, such as vectors, matrices, quantum gates, and integral and Fourier transforms. |
| Synopsis: |
Covering both theory and progressive experiments, Quantum Computing: From Linear Algebra to Physical Realizations explains how and why superposition and entanglement provide the enormous computational power in quantum computing. This self-contained, classroom-tested book is divided into two sections, with the first devoted to the theoretical aspects of quantum computing and the second focused on several candidates of a working quantum computer, evaluating them according to the DiVincenzo criteria.Topics in Part I * Linear algebra * Principles of quantum mechanics * Qubit and the first application of quantum information processing-quantum key distribution * Quantum gates * Simple yet elucidating examples of quantum algorithms * Quantum circuits that implement integral transforms * Practical quantum algorithms, including Grover's database search algorithm and Shor's factorization algorithm * The disturbing issue of decoherence * Important examples of quantum error-correcting codes (QECC) Topics in Part II * DiVincenzo criteria, which are the standards a physical system must satisfy to be a candidate as a working quantum computer * Liquid state NMR, one of the well-understood physical systems * Ionic and atomic qubits * Several types of Josephson junction qubits * The quantum dots realization of qubits Looking at the ways in which quantum computing can become reality, this book delves into enough theoretical background and experimental research to support a thorough understanding of this promising field. |
