Introduction to Quantum Physics and Information Processing

Introduction to Quantum Physics and Information Processing

guides you in understanding the current state of research in the

novel, interdisciplinary area of quantum information. The book goes

deeply into issues of quantum theory without raising the technical

level too much.

The text begins with the basics of quantum mechanics required to

understand how two-level systems are used as qubits. It goes on to

show how quantum properties are exploited in devising algorithms

for problems that are more efcient than the classical counterpart. It

then explores more sophisticated notions that form the backbone of

quantum information theory.
