Quantum Computing : A New Era of Computing (Hardcover)

A helpful introduction to all aspects of quantum computing

Quantum computing is a field combining quantum mechanics--the physical science of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles--and information science. Where ordinary computing uses bits, logical values whose position can either be 0 or 1, quantum computing is built around qubits, a fundamental unit of quantum information which can exist in a superposition of both states. As quantum computers are able to complete certain kinds of functions more accurately and efficiently than computers built on classical binary logic, quantum computing is an emerging frontier which promises to revolutionize information science and its applications.

This book provides a concise, accessible introduction to quantum computing. It begins by introducing the essentials of quantum mechanics that information and computer scientists require, before moving to detailed discussions of quantum computing in theory and practice. As quantum computing becomes an ever-greater part of the global information technology landscape, the knowledge in Quantum Computing will position readers to join a vital and highly marketable field of research and development.

The book's readers will also find:

• Detailed diagrams and illustrations throughout
• A broadly applicable quantum algorithm that improves on the best-known classical algorithms for a wide range of problems
• In-depth discussion of essential topics including key distribution, cluster state quantum computing, superconducting qubits, and more

Quantum Computing is perfect for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or the physical sciences, as well as for researchers and academics at the intersection of these fields who want a concise reference.

一本關於量子計算各方面的有用介紹

量子計算是結合了量子力學（即在原子和亞原子粒子尺度上的自然物理科學）和資訊科學的領域。普通的計算使用位元，即邏輯值的位置可以是0或1，而量子計算則是建立在量子位元（qubits）上，這是量子資訊的基本單位，可以存在於兩種狀態的超位置。由於量子計算機能夠比基於傳統二進制邏輯的計算機更準確和高效地完成某些類型的功能，量子計算是一個新興的前沿領域，有望革命化資訊科學及其應用。

這本書提供了一個簡明易懂的量子計算入門。它首先介紹了資訊科學家和計算機科學家所需的量子力學基礎知識，然後深入討論了量子計算的理論和實踐。隨著量子計算越來越成為全球資訊技術領域的重要組成部分，這本《量子計算》的知識將使讀者能夠參與一個重要且具有高市場價值的研究和開發領域。

這本書的讀者還將找到：
- 全書中詳細的圖表和插圖
- 一個廣泛適用的量子算法，改進了目前已知的許多傳統算法在各種問題上的表現
- 深入討論了關鍵分佈、叢集狀態量子計算、超導量子位元等重要主題

《量子計算》非常適合計算機科學、工程學、數學或物理科學的高年級本科生和研究生，以及這些領域交叉的研究人員和學者，他們需要一本簡明的參考書。
