About this title

Synopsis

Quantum computers are the proposed centerpieces of a revolutionary, 21st century quantum information technology. Ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in modern quantum physics, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: From Photons to Quantum Computers takes the reader into the fascinating world of quantum mechanics and continues on an in-depth study of quantum information and quantum computing, including an entire chapter on the future of quantum technology. This accessible text with modern applications focuses on what is “quantum” about quantum mechanics; topics discussed include the EPR paradox, entanglement, teleportation, Bell’s Theorem, quantum computing, and code-breaking with quantum computers. Focuses on the “non-classical” aspects of quantum mechanics, such as EPR correlations and Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” without neglecting the “machinery” of quantum mechanicsContains chapters on modern quantum topics, including interaction-free measurement, quantum factoring, and quantum computing, not found in traditional quantum mechanics textbooksDiscusses the process of teleportation; no longer science fiction, but firmly grounded in experimentationPresents key quantum algorithms such as the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, Shor’s factoring algorithm, and Grover’s data-base search algorithm that demonstrate how quantum computers rival traditional computersContains an in-depth chapter that presents quantitatively, the physics of an actual quantum computerIncludes numerous exercises at the end of each section to evaluate the acquired knowledge Ideal for Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Physics courses taught within the Physics Department. Also appropriate for course in: Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Information Theory, Quantum Computing, Topics in Quantum Mechanics, Recent Developments in Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics and Measurement, or Foundations of Quantum Mechanics � 2010 | 331 pages
