About this Item

Quantum technology is one of the most promising and challenging elds in contemporary science. Quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and more generally quantum information technologies claim that they, in the short term, will change our paradigm of classical computing and communications. Concepts such as duality, superposition, entanglement, teleportation and many others seem to be closer to magic or science fiction than to everyday human experience. However, herein lies also the unlimited power of human thought, which mathematics and physics help us to go beyond our immediate experience of the world. This book, oriented toward undergraduate students pursuing Bachelor's Degrees in Engineering, draws on the experience of the authors during nearly ten years of work in this eld. The book consists of a comprehensive list of exercises with increasing degrees of diculty. Additional material such as solved problems and a basic compilation of theory is also included in each chapter. The list of topics, which include among others, quantum computing, quantum teleportation, superdense coding, quantum processors or quantum communication protocols, intended for opening doors that will motivate students to continue delving into the eld of quantum technologies, which has only just begun to be explored.

About this title

Synopsis

Quantum technology is one of the most promising and challenging fields in contemporary science. Quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and more generally quantum information technologies claim that they, in the short term, will change our paradigm of classical computing and communications. Concepts such as duality, superposition, entanglement, teleportation and many others seem to be closer to magic or science fiction than to everyday human experience. However, herein lies also the unlimited power of human thought, which mathematics and physics help us to go beyond our immediate experience of the world. This book, oriented toward undergraduate students pursuing Bachelor’s Degrees in Engineering, draws on the experience of the authors during nearly ten years of work in this field. The book consists of a comprehensive list of exercises with increasing degrees of difficulty. Additional material such as solved problems and a basic compilation of theory is also included in each chapter. The list of topics, which include among others, quantum computing, quantum teleportation, superdense coding, quantum processors or quantum communication protocols, intended for opening doors that will motivate students to continue delving into the field of quantum technologies, which has only just begun to be explored.

About the Author

The authors are an Associate Professor in the Physics Department of the UPC. Santiago Torres Gil, has a long history of teaching and research. His research on Astrophysics focuses mainly on the simulation of stellar populations using Monte Carlo methods. Pere Bruna Escuer is a Deputy Director of the Institute of Energy Techniques. His research focuses on the field of materials science by studying the so-called metal crystals and, in particular, their study using synchrotron radiation and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Pietro Massignan is a Visiting Scientist at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO). His research mainly focuses on dilute ultracold quantum gases and photonic systems, with particular emphasis on few- and many-body properties, superfluidity, synthetic gauge fields, and topological order.
