A self-contained, reader-friendly introduction to the principles and applications of quantum computing 


Especially valuable to those without a prior knowledge of quantum mechanics, this electrical engineering text presents the concepts and workings of quantum information processing systems in a clear, straightforward, and practical manner. The book is written in a style that helps readers who are not familiar with non-classical information processing more easily grasp the essential concepts; only prior exposure to classical physics, basic digital design, and introductory linear algebra is assumed.


Quantum Computing: A Beginner’s Introduction presents each topic in a tutorial style with examples, illustrations, and diagrams to clarify the material. Written by an experienced electrical engineering educator and author, this is a self-contained resource, with all the necessary pre-requisite material included within the text.


Coverage includes: 


• Complex Numbers, Vector Space, and Dirac Notation 
• Basics of Quantum Mechanics 
• Matrices and Operators 
• Boolean Algebra, Logic Gates and Quantum Information Processing 
• Quantum Gates and Circuit 
• Tensor Products, Superposition and Quantum Entanglement 
• Teleportation and Superdense Coding 
• Quantum Error Correction 
• Quantum Algorithms 
• Quantum Cryptography
