About this title

Synopsis

[see attached for complete text] Over the last decade quantum computing has become a rapidly growing field with relevance to topics from physics, mathematics, and computer science. Aimed at engaging the mathematically literate reader who may not have a background in all of the subspecialties of the field, this work will provide the context for understanding and developing algorithms for a "prospective" quantum computer. Key features include: * clear and concise exposition, * minimal prerequisites, * detailed overview of the historical context of quantum computing, * discussion of the most recent developments, including the factoring algorithm of

Product Description

In 1994 Peter Shor [65] published a factoring algorithm for a quantum computer that finds the prime factors of a composite integer N more efficiently than is possible with the known algorithms for a classical com� puter. Since the difficulty of the factoring problem is crucial for the se� curity of a public key encryption system, interest (and funding) in quan� tum computing and quantum computation suddenly blossomed. Quan� tum computing had arrived. The study of the role of quantum mechanics in the theory of computa� tion seems to have begun in the early 1980s with the publications of Paul Benioff [6]' [7] who considered a quantum mechanical model of computers and the computation process. A related question was discussed shortly thereafter by Richard Feynman [35] who began from a different perspec� tive by asking what kind of computer should be used to simulate physics. His analysis led him to the belief that with a suitable class of "quantum machines" one could imitate any quantum system.
