Beskrivning

Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students, this textbook covers the core topics of quantum computing in a format designed for a single-semester course. It will be accessible to learners from a range of disciplines, with an understanding of linear algebra being the primary prerequisite. The textbook introduces central concepts such as quantum mechanics, the quantum circuit model, and quantum algorithms, and covers advanced subjects such as the surface code and topological quantum computation. These topics are essential for understanding the role of symmetries in error correction and the stability of quantum architectures, which situate quantum computation within the wider realm of theoretical physics. Graphical representations and exercises are included throughout the book and optional expanded materials are summarized within boxed 'Remarks'. Lecture notes have been made freely available for download from the textbook's webpage, with instructors having additional online access to selected exercise solutions.

Recensioner i media

'While there is no longer a shortage of textbooks on quantum computing, a fresh view from a different perspective is always welcome. This book offers such a new perspective. Starting from very basic concepts, it spans a wide range to topological concepts used in quantum error correction. Overall, it provides interesting and entertaining reading material for novices as well as advanced students.' Dieter Suter, TU Dortmund University, Germany
