Summary
A thorough exposition of quantum computing and the underlying concepts of quantum physics, with explanations of the relevant mathematics and numerous examples. The combination of two of the twentieth century’s most influential and revolutionary scientific theories, information theory and quantum mechanics, gave rise to a radically new view of computing and information. Quantum information processing explores the implications of using quantum mechanics instead of classical mechanics to model i…

Critics Review
The collection of exercises is a treasure… I could open any chapter and follow its content without having to turn to previous chapters for notions and notation… precious for the beginner… [a] masterpiece. I need not say more.
* Physics Today *Rieffel and Polak have produced a pedagogical triumph. While reviewing this book, I designed and delivered a first-year undergraduate computing lecture and workshop drawing on its content, with excellent impact… A masterpiece that should be read by all who are interested in quantum computing.
* Times Higher Education *[ Quantum Computing] offers one of the best introductions to the themes and concepts of quantum measurement that I have ever read…The authors have the rare capacity of offering us a steady quality of educational throughput, regardless of the inherent difficulty of the theme presented…It is a significant education oeuvre.
