Quantum Computation and Quantum Information: 10th Anniversary Edition van Michael A. Nielsen and Isaac L. Chuang is an English-language textbook aimed at professionals and researchers. This reference work covers computation and quantum processes that form the basis of quantum information and technology.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of quantum computation and quantum information, with topics such as quantum algorithms, quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography, and error correction. Before these applications, the foundations of quantum mechanics and computer science are explained, after which the usefulness of quantum computers for solving complex problems faster is discussed.
This 10th anniversary edition includes an introduction by the authors that places the work in the broader context of the field. By combining theory, practical examples, figures, and exercises, this book is suitable for university courses and researchers in physics, computer science, mathematics, and electrical engineering.
The book aligns with topics such as Quantum physics, quantum computation and quantum information, making it an essential reference work within the SCIENCE / Physics / Quantum Theory category.
