Overview
The first handbook to provide a comprehensive inter-disciplinary overview of QCC. It includes peer-reviewed definitions of key terms such as Quantum Logic Gates, Error Correction, Quantum Dots, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Quantum Holography, and Quantum Cryptography. There are also reports on major application areas, principles of QCC, and targets, benchmarks and challenges, making this an invaluable buy for any university department with this exciting new topic in its curriculum. It equally provides a unique overview of a fast-moving and multidisciplinary topic for researchers, students, lecturers, and even the interested amateur.Synopsis
This handbook provides the first comprehensive overview of the field of Quantum Computing and Communications (QCC). It looks at the background to an emerging technology which promises to revolutionise information processing and, as a result, many areas of computing and communications.
It gives an easy-to-follow introduction to the main areas of interest, including: - Fundamentals of Quantum Information; - Experimental Realizations; - Applications; - Quantum Cryptography; - Categories and Definitions.
This is not just a reference for those working in the field; written in an accessible style by Michael Brooks - an experienced journalist for New Scientist magazine and the Guardian newspaper - it aims to communicate with anyone working in computer science, physics, chemistry, mathematics and engineering who wants to know what QCC technology will mean to them.
