Review "The book has the potential to fill a void that needs to be filled: to bring the excitement of quantum computing to undergraduate computing majors, especially those with modest math backgrounds. While there are a few outstanding graduate textbooks on the topic, this one has the unique feature of being accessible to typical CS undergraduates The authors have written this with great pedagogical skill.
Readers will feel that they are having a conversation with the authors which makes it a great book for self-study. This one differs from all those I have seen in that it is explicitly written for undergraduates with a very limited knowledge of physics or math, but some minimal training in classical computing. As such the book is extremely user friendly and has many exercises to explain the material, some in the form of programs the student can write to explore many sides of a given problem, almost like playing computer games.
More complicated topics are illustrated by examples, rather than complicated formal proofs. There is a good list of references for further reading on individual topics, and suggested topics for projects. The book is clearly geared to the student of limited background who wants to learn about quantum computing without waiting to become an expert in classical computing.
For this audience the book has no peers and is highly recommended. This book This work has many attractive features. Definitely, a very fine book. Bharath, Northern Michigan University for Choice Magazine "In a word, this is a well-structured text which deserves careful from consideration from instructors not only engaged with computer science teaching but also those in physics and electronic engineering.
Alan Shore, Contemporary Physics "this is a book that I can recommend to anyone with a basic knowledge of linear algebra.
Not only will it make a very nice textbook for undergraduate computer scientists and mathematicians; it is also the kind of book one can give to a bright student to read on her own. Presentation: Clear, elegant and comprehensive - with every effort made to make it comprehensible too.
Would you recommend it? About the Author Noson F. Mirco A. Mannucci, Ph. This is amazing introductory book! By Jun Won Lee I am studying quantum computing by myself. Before this book, I studied this field with other school's class website. Even though the slide and on-line documents I obtained is great, it was hard to understand by just reading!
This book is totally different from other books. It focued on people who are weak to mathematics and have little knowledge of quantum computing. Even some chapters are still hard because of the nature of this field , most chapters are so well written that you can read lying on the couch and feel like you read some kind of story.
Since I have been in the technical field for a while, I am a CS PhD student studying Data Mining and Machine Learning , this book is one of very rarely well written books containing sufficient depth but keeping simplicity. Viewpoint of a self-guided explorer of quantum computing By Arnab Chakraborty Good points about the book: 1 The authors focus on the "what"'s and "how"'s rather than the "why"'s. They do not waste time with nitty gritty details of quantum physics.
The book is true to it title, and delves directly into the practical details of quantum computing. In this respect this book is a welcome exception among a plethora of similarly titled book that end up bombarding the readers with alpha particles and magical photons, and leave the quantum computing topics only vaguely explained.
Just as classical computing is not about understanding semiconductors, quantum computing is not about chasing photons. This book makes this very clear. Though I skipped most of the exercises during my firsr reading, these helped me to consolidate my understanding during subsequent readings. This book is ideal for self-guided study. It also acts like a tour operator into the wonderful world of quantum computing with material suitable for audience ranging from "casually curious" to potential researchers.
A list of possible student projects, and a guide to the quantum computing on the net are two very useful sections. I have never seen a single book providing such a broad yet practically useful view about a subject. Of course, one cannot expect to learn "everything" about a subject from a single book, but still this book goes a long way toward that goal.
It gives you some knowledge, and then it helps you to understand how that piece of knowledge fits in the vast world of quantum computing. Basic familiarity with complex matrices, along with definitions of eigen values and eigen vectors is all the math prerequsite. All formulas are supported by extensive numerical examples.

While existing quantum technologies are in their infancy, we shall see that it is not too early to consider scalability and reliability. In fact, such considerations are a critical link in the development chain of viable device technologies capable of orchestrating reliable control of tens of millions quantum bits in a large-scale system.
The goal of this lecture is to provide architectural abstractions common to potential technologies and explore the systemslevel challenges in achieving scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computation. The central premise of the lecture is directed at quantum computation QC architectural issues. We stress the fact that the basic tenet of large-scale quantum computing is reliability through system balance: the need to protect and control the quantum information just long enough for the algorithm to complete execution.
To architectQCsystems, onemust understand what it takes to design and model a balanced, fault-tolerant quantum architecture just as the concept of balance drives conventional architectural design.
