Synopsis

What is the phenomenon of quantum entanglement? If you read popular science literature, there is talk of socks that are red and blue at the same time, but monochromatic - how is that supposed to work? If you read scientific literature, you have to have knowledge of functional analysis.

This book vividly builds the bridge between the experiments that led to quantum entanglement and the algorithm for teleportation, assuming only an elementary knowledge of mathematics.

From the Back Cover

What is quantum entanglement? If you read popular science literature, there is talk of socks that are red and blue at the same time, but monochromatic - how is that supposed to work? If you read scientific literature, you have to have knowledge of functional analysis.

This book vividly builds the bridge between the experiments that led to quantum entanglement and the algorithm for teleportation, assuming only an elementary knowledge of mathematics.

The content

• Quantum entanglement – design of the experiments
• Bell's inequality - there are no hidden variables
• Quantum gates and the algorithm for teleportation Outlook Quantum Computing

The target groups

• Interested laymen and students looking for  a first step to the fields of quantum physics or quantum computing
• Lecturers in quantum physics and quantum computing
• Future users of quantum computers

The author
Prof. Dr. Bettina Just teaches and conducts research in mathematics and computer Science at the THM Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen, Gießen, Germany.

This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
