One cannot really have even a fundamental understanding of quantum physics and quantum computing without at least a working knowledge of linear algebra. Clearly, a single chapter of a book cannot make you a master of any topic, including linear algebra. That is not the goal of this book or this chapter. Rather, the purpose of this chapter is to provide ...
