First published in 1976, this monograph presents an exposition of some of the more important theoretical and computational techniques that have been developed for the determination and interpretation of molecular wave functions. Although a comprehensive theory of the electronic structure and bonding in molecules had been developed by 1960, only with the advent of the electronic computer in the late 1950s did it become possible to perform accurate non-empirical calculations for molecules of chemical interest; indeed, much of the subsequent evolution of the theory has occurred in parallel with the development of computing machines and techniques.

The application of the theory and practice of art to computer science: how aesthetics and art can play a role in computing disciplines.

The multidisciplinary field of quantum computing strives to exploit some of the uncanny aspects of quantum mechanics to expand our computational horizons. Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists takes readers on a tour of this fascinating area of cutting-edge research. Written in an accessible yet rigorous fashion, this book employs ideas and techniques familiar to every student of computer science. The reader is not expected to have any advanced mathematics or physics background. After presenting the necessary prerequisites, the material is organized to look at different aspects of quantum computing from the specific standpoint of computer science. There are chapters on computer architecture, algorithms, programming languages, theoretical computer science, cryptography, information theory, and hardware. The text has step-by-step examples, more than two hundred exercises with solutions, and programming drills that bring the ideas of quantum computing alive for today's computer scienc
