Quantum computing and communications

From MaRDI portal





This book is the result of an EC funded research project on quantum computing and largely written by a journalist closely involved in the project. The book is intended for those who are interested in the notion `quantum computing', and would have an idea about the achievements mode up till now, and the prospects for the future. Typical examples being addressed are that photons can get coupled, such that a state transition of one is reflected in the other. This yields a basic means to communicate over arbitrary distances. Other issues are how to build a quantum factorizer for natural numbers, or how to construct logical gates on a quantum level. A reader should not expect this book to be a definitive answer. Topics are addressed in a shallow way and generally leave more questions than answers. However, for those who want an easy going introduction in the concept of quantum computing, this book is excellent.
