The author cuts through the conventions typical jargon-laden physics books and instead presents the material through his unique "how-to" approach and friendly, conversational style. Readers will learn how to do calculations with explicit details and will gain a basic understanding of: * Quantum Mechanics * Quantum computation * Teleportation * Quantum cryptography * Winding * Quantum algorithms * Error correction A number of worked examples included so readers can see how quantum computing is done by their own eyes, while answers to similar end-of-chapter problems are provided for the reader to examine their own work because they learn to master the information. Ideal for professionals and students at the same level, Quantum Computing Explained the basics of quantum computing readers need to understand current research papers and continues to study more advanced quantum texts.
