One of the most cited books in physics of all time, Quantum Computation and Quantum Information remains the best textbook in this exciting field of science. This 10th anniversary edition includes an introduction from the authors setting the work in context. This comprehensive textbook describes such remarkable effects as fast quantum algorithms, quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum error-correction. Quantum mechanics and computer science are introduced before moving on to describe what a quantum computer is, how it can be used to solve problems faster than 'classical' computers and its real-world implementation. It concludes with an in-depth treatment of quantum information. Containing a wealth of figures and exercises, this well-known textbook is ideal for courses on the subject, and will interest beginning graduate students and researchers in physics, computer science, mathematics, and electrical engineering.

Could be a good book if there are not so many printing errors.

January 30, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It could be a good book if there are not so many printing errors.

I buy this Kindle version to save heavy lifting since the paper version is so heavy. I can't lift it for long and my neck does not allow me to look down too long. However the Kindle version contains so many printing errors and I have to refer to paperback version more than often. I hope editors can pay more attentions to these errors because they are not supposed to happen. These error basically make the kindle version hard to understand. For a book that is not for casual reading and also has hard content, printing error is hazardous.

A great reference, but surprisingly, also a better intro than other titles

I bought several titles to get introduced to quantum computing... thinking that this one would be the text but adding some hopefully more accessible intros... turns out that this title is actually the best intro as well as the best reference! this title helps motivated the reader into looking at quantum from its own lens instead of trying to start from classic references or spending chapters on a review of linear algebra. I recommend new students to the subject start with this book.

Assumes very little prior knowledge, and is fun to read!

I'm going through this book very thoroughly, problem-by-problem. I found their appendices on probability and group theory, and their part in chapter 2 on linear algebra, to be extremely well-done. The authors manage to be concise without being dense. For that alone, I give 5 stars. The style is conversational but direct, and very enjoyable in my opinion.

THE Quantum Computer text

Quantum Computation and Quantum Information: 10th Anniversary Edition
This book is definitely THE source to turn to for an understanding of Quantum Computation and Information. One can only read through the first chapter and you are given the key feature of Quantum Computation and Information. The advantage of this approach is that Chapter 1 establishes a Quantum roadmap of what you need to know. You can stop there or you can dive deeper into the technology. Using the remaining chapters as a reference or continuation of course studies.

But, it is the 10th Edition and I would have liked to see some new information associated with current trends in Quantum Computing. For examples:
1) Adiabatic verses Gate Arrays,
2) Quantum instructions examples, whether it is by circuit manipulation or by an Objective function,
3) A review section on quantum Notations (logic, Bra-kets, linear algebra) to help readers get back into it again.

This is THE book for those interested in finding out what is Quantum computers, but go slow with the first chapter and use the internet to clarify topics that are new to you, or to just refresh your memory. If you can skip through Chapter 1, you don't need the book.
