商品簡介
Benenti, Casati, and Strini have written an eminently readable introduction to the field of quantum computation. This volume, the first of two, covers foundational material: basic concepts of classical computation and quantum mechanics, the fundamental concepts of quantum computation (the qubit, universal quantum gates, function evaluation, and so on), and a section on quantum communication, which includes discussions of both classical and quantum cryptosystems, as well as applications of the no-cloning theorem, dense coding, and quantum teleportation. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduates in computer science, physics, or mathematics, but no prior knowledge of either computation or quantum mechanics is assumed.
