Book description

Requiring no background in quantum physics, this text guides beginners in understanding the current state of research in the novel, interdisciplinary area of quantum information. Suitable for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics, mathematics, or engineering, the book goes deep into issues of quantum theory without raising the technical level too much. It describes basic algorithms used in quantum computation and addresses key elements of quantum information. Examples, exercises, problems, and references encourage hands-on practice and further exploration.
