This textbook provides a self-contained introduction to the principles and methods of quantum computation, designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It introduces classical logic and quantum mechanics before presenting their integration in quantum computation.
Key topics include quantum logic gates, foundational algorithms such as Deutsch-Jozsa and Bernstein-Vazirani, the quantum Fourier transform, and quantum search algorithms. Additional coverage includes quantum operations, error correction techniques, and physical implementations of quantum computation using technologies such as trapped ions and superconducting qubits. The book concludes with an examination of quantum computation through adiabatic evolution.
The text is supplemented with exercises, solutions, and practical examples to support learning and application. It serves as a foundational resource for students and researchers pursuing studies in quantum computing and related fields.

About the Author
Stefano Olivares is a physicist with expertise in quantum optics and quantum information, focusing on the optical implementation of quantum information processing. He earned his PhD in Physics from the University of Milan and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics. Since 2012, he has taught Quantum Computing for graduate-level courses and, more recently, Thermodynamics for undergraduate physics students.
Prof. Olivares has made significant contributions to the study of quantum state generation, characterization, and application, quantum interferometry and sensing, and the dynamics of quantum properties under decoherence. His work also encompasses quantum state and operation estimation, as well as quantum communication and quantum key distribution.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Marlton Books, Bridgeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
