Elements of quantum computing: history, theories and engineering applications

摘要

Intended for readers with no special knowledge of the theory of computation or quantum mechanics, the author attempts to cover the elements of quantum computing, including history, theories, and engineering applications. Obviously a comprehensive treatment of these topics, including the necessary mathematics and physics prerequisites, is not possible. One looks for some clever analogies that would elucidate the concepts of quantum computing and give readers insight into its significance. Unfortunately, insight into quantum computing is missing here.
