Textbook: Introduction to Classical and Quantum Computing
- marginalia_nu 5y agoI took a graduate level class in quantum computation, geesh, must be 12-15 years ago now. Flipping through this, it's impressive how far the tooling has come. Back then we were doing a lot of this stuff by hand, demonstrating Shor's algorithm etc. It's also pretty ambitious to teach this at an introductory level. We were doing this after a couple of years of quantum topics, QFT, quantum optics, that sort of thing; and it didn't feel like an entry level topic. But that may very well be how it was presented as well. The professor understood we knew our way around a pauli matrix and didn't shy away from notation that would otherwise would be terrifying.
- Koshkin 5y agoSeems like an excellent introduction to the subject (including some necessary mathematics). The printed versions are inexpensive for a 400-page book, which is a nice touch.
