商品描述
This book introduces quantum computing and quantum communications at the undergraduate level for students in the physical sciences, engineering, and mathematics, assuming no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics. It is a self-contained guide assuming only that the reader is familiar with physics at the college level, calculus (up to and including ordinary differential equations), and some matrix algebra and complex numbers. The book brings the reader up to speed with fundamental concepts in quantum information processing and builds a working knowledge of basic quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, and quantum communication protocols. It covers various models of quantum computation and some of the most common physical realizations of qubits. There is a good number of practice problems and exercises that rely on computer programming with the Qiskit language. The book can be used to prepare students of physics, mathematics, electrical and computer engineering, computer science, optics and photonics, and mathematics for internships and research experiences in quantum information processing, both during and after their undergraduate studies. It also helps those who plan to apply to graduate school and do research in this area.
Key Features:
- Self-contained coverage of quantum computing and quantum communications, from the motivations to the fundamentals and applications, including key concepts and contemporary topics.
- Contains practice problems and exercises, including some that require programming in Qiskit (the python-based, high-level language for programming quantum computers, adopted by nearly all quantum hardware providers and completely open source).
- Very light background knowledge assumed, making this book accessible to a variety of majors in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書介紹了量子計算和量子通信，適合物理科學、工程和數學的本科生，並假設讀者對量子力學沒有先前的了解。這是一本自成體系的指南，只假設讀者熟悉大學水平的物理學、微積分（包括普通微分方程）以及一些矩陣代數和複數。書中將讀者帶入量子信息處理的基本概念，並建立對基本量子算法、量子錯誤更正和量子通信協議的工作知識。它涵蓋了各種量子計算模型以及一些最常見的量子位（qubit）物理實現。書中有相當數量的練習題和習題，這些題目依賴於使用 Qiskit 語言進行計算機編程。這本書可以幫助物理學、數學、電機與計算機工程、計算機科學、光學與光子學以及數學的學生為量子信息處理的實習和研究經驗做好準備，無論是在本科學習期間還是之後。它也有助於那些計劃申請研究所並在該領域進行研究的人。
**主要特點：**
- 自成體系地涵蓋量子計算和量子通信，從動機到基本原理和應用，包括關鍵概念和當代主題。
- 包含練習題和習題，其中一些需要使用 Qiskit 進行編程（Qiskit 是一種基於 Python 的高級量子計算機編程語言，幾乎所有量子硬體供應商都採用，並且完全開源）。
- 假設的背景知識非常淺顯，使這本書對自然科學、工程和數學的各種專業學生都能夠輕鬆理解。
