This is a pedagogical introduction to the subjects of quantum information and computation. Topics include non-locality of quantum mechanics, quantum computation, quantum cryptography, quantum error correction, and fault-tolerant quantum computation, as well as some experimental aspects of quantum computation and quantum cryptography. Only knowledge of basic quantum mechanics is assumed. Whenever more advanced concepts and techniques are used, they are introduced carefully. This book is designed to be a self-contained overview and is based on a series of lectures held at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Basic Research Institute in the Mathematical Sciences (BRIMS), Bristol, from November 1996 to April 1997, but it also includes other contributions.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A very nice introduction dealing with many important topics,

This review is from: Introduction to Quantum Computation and (Hardcover)
This book is now somewhat dated, but contains chapters by several workers who laid the foundation of the subject. The book is certainly not only one for beginners, as the contributors have done a very good job at getting to the heart of their topics.
