By P. Melecrinis on August 30, 2013
Format: Paperback
Quantum mechanics is universally considered weird (magic). The author tries to eliminate the weirdness utilizing a non standard (hidden variables) finite quantum theory (the formalism of Lucien Hardy). It is possible e.g. to eliminate complex numbers: a ket of n length is substituded by a real vector of length nxn).
The book is not an introduction to quantum computers or to their physical realization.

Many useful technical details. Though their main quantum computing implementation idea looks useless for me. Much deeper physics is necessary.
