Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists

Noson S. Yanofsky is a professor at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York's Department of Computer and Information Science. Dr. Mirco A. Mannucci is a holomath, or that particular breed of polymath who never stops trying to weave the tangled threads of his many interests into a cohesive whole, to use his neologism.

One of the best books on theoretical computer science is Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists. Quantum computing is a multidisciplinary field that aims to take advantage of some of quantum mechanics' strange properties to broaden our computational horizons. Readers will be taken on a tour of this intriguing field of cutting-edge research in Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists. This book employs ideas and techniques common to any student of computer science and is written in an approachable yet rigorous manner. The reader is not required to have a strong foundation in advanced mathematics or physics.

Following the presentation of the basic prerequisites, the content is organized to look at various elements of quantum computing from a computer science perspective. Computer architecture, algorithms, programming languages, theoretical computer science, cryptography, information theory, and hardware are among the topics covered. The text includes step-by-step examples, over 200 tasks with solutions, and programming drills to help computer science students and researchers understand quantum computing.

Some reviews about this book: “The title says it all. This book was great for non-physicists that want to understand Quantum Computing from a Computer Science frame of reference. Full disclosure, I have a degree in Physics and have been working as a programmer for the last 20 years.”
