商品描述
Quantum Computation presents the mathematics of quantum computation. The purpose is to introduce the topic of quantum computing to students in computer science, physics and mathematics who have no prior knowledge of this field.
The book is written in two parts. The primary mathematical topics required for an initial understanding of quantum computation are dealt with in Part I: sets, functions, complex numbers and other relevant mathematical structures from linear and abstract algebra. Topics are illustrated with examples focussing on the quantum computational aspects which will follow in more detail in Part II.
Part II discusses quantum information, quantum measurement and quantum algorithms. These topics provide foundations upon which more advanced topics may be approached with confidence.
Features:
- A more accessible approach than most competitor texts, which move into advanced, research-level topics too quickly for today's students.
- Part I is comprehensive in providing all necessary mathematical underpinning, particularly for those who need more opportunity to develop their mathematical competence.
- More confident students may move directly to Part II and dip back into Part I as a reference.
- Ideal for use as an introductory text for courses in quantum computing.
- Fully worked examples illustrate the application of mathematical techniques.
- Exercises throughout develop concepts and enhance understanding.
- End-of-chapter exercises offer more practice in developing a secure foundation.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《量子計算》介紹了量子計算的數學知識。其目的是向計算機科學、物理學和數學專業的學生介紹量子計算這一領域，並且假設讀者對此領域沒有任何先備知識。
本書分為兩個部分。第一部分主要介紹了理解量子計算所需的基礎數學知識，包括集合、函數、從線性代數和抽象代數中提取的複數和其他相關數學結構。通過重點關注量子計算方面的例子，為第二部分更詳細的內容打下基礎。
第二部分討論了量子信息、量子測量和量子算法。這些主題為進一步探討更高級的主題提供了基礎。
特點：
- 比大多數競爭書籍更易理解，不會過快地進入高級、研究級的主題，以符合當今學生的需求。
- 第一部分提供了所有必要的數學基礎，特別適合需要更多機會發展數學能力的讀者。
- 自信的讀者可以直接閱讀第二部分，並在需要時回頭參考第一部分。
- 非常適合作為量子計算課程的入門教材。
- 通過完整的實例展示了數學技巧的應用。
- 整本書中的練習有助於發展概念並提高理解能力。
- 章末練習提供了更多鞏固基礎的練習機會。
