A Primer on Quantum Computing (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)

Further, Grover's algorithm is presented for unstructured search discussing its consequences and applications. 

Next, important techniques are discussed such as Quantum Fourier Transform and quantum phase estimation. Finally, Shor's algorithm for integer factorization is explained.

At last, quantum walks are explained in detail covering both the discrete and continuous time models,

and applications of this techniques are described for the design and analyses of quantum algorithms.

Franklin de Lima Marquezino graduated in Computer Science from the Catholic University of Petropolis in 2004, and received his PhD degree in Computer Modelling form the National Laboratory of Scientific Computing (LNCC) in 2010. He stayed for one year as postdoctoral researcher also at LNCC. Since 2011, he is an associate professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, working mainly in the areas of quantum algorithms and quantum walks.

Carlile Lavor graduated in Mathematics from the University of Campinas in 1996, and received a PhD in Computer Science from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, in 2001. He was a visiting professor at prestigious institutions like École Polytechnique (2008-2009) and Duke University (2013-2014). Since 2005, he has been working at the University of Campinas, where he is now a full professor. He is co-author of the books "Euclidean Distance Geometry" and "A Geometric Algebra Invitation to Space-Time Physics, Robotics and Molecular Geometry" and co-editor of "Distance Geometry: Theory, Methods and Applications" book, all by Springer.
