This book is designed to serve a dual purpose: To give the necessary exposure of Quantum Computing (QC) to people from different fields of expertise and to give the basic training, including that on the required skill set, to a novice helping him/her enter the fascinating field of QC.

While the required Quantum Mechanics is developed in the Appendix, the body of the book develops the fundamental concepts of quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, showing their different manifestations. The author provides ample exposure to quantum circuits and quantum algorithms, explaining the role of superposition, entanglement and quantum interference. This includes examples of quantum teleportation, syndrome circuits and encoding circuits. Applications like quantum search, quantum cryptography, quantum game theory are discussed with motivation and clarity. Finally, the concept of decoherence is explained using an illustrative example, and the fundamental features of quantum error correction are covered. This book is directed towards everybody using science and towards novices (mainly students) who want to prepare themselves to enter the field of QC.

Über Autor(innen)

Professor Pramod S. Joag retired as a professor of Physics, Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), after teaching all the basic physics courses over a period of 33 years. He entered the field of Quantum Computing (QC) from the year 2000, has published about 25 research papers in the international journals and guided four students for their Ph.D. degree. His work concerns measures of quantum entanglement accessible to experiment, quantum discord, relation between classical and quantum correlations in Heisenberg chains, production of entangled qudits, separability condition for general mixed states. He taught two courses per year on QC for four years as elective post graduate courses. He is a major resource in training the faculty of Engineering colleges in QC as a part of the initiative by the government. His books on Classical Mechanics (Tata-McGrow-Hill) and vectors, vector operators and vector analysis (Cambridge University Press) are being used at many places all over the world.
