"Quantum Information and Quantum Computation" by Nielsen and Huang is also a fascinating book if you want to look at Quantum Mechanics from a distinctly mathematical and CS perspective.
- jey 19y agoAwesome, thanks!
- michael_nielsen 19y agoI'm Michael Nielsen (the first author). I'm very glad you liked our book! A little correction: my co-author is Ike Chuang. (I'm not grepping my name. I've taken an extended, possibly permanent, break from quantum computing, and will likely start a web-based company or foundation. YC News is a great resource, which I check regularly.)

- sarosh 19y agoOut of curiosity, will you be applying any principals from the book to the startup?
- michael_nielsen 19y agoThe startup won't be quantum related, if that's what you're asking. Of course, there is a lot that I learnt in the course of writing the book that will be useful - techniques related to skills like abstraction, communication, synthesis, and managing large projects.
