Summary
One of the most cited books in physics of all time， Quantum Computation and Quantum Information remains the best textbook in this exciting field of science。 This 10th anniversary edition includes an introduction from the authors setting the work in context。 This comprehensive textbook describes such remarkable effects as fast quantum algorithms， quantum teleportation， quantum cryptography and quantum error-correction。 Quantum mechanics and computer science are introduced before moving on to describe what a quantum computer is， how it can be used to solve problems faster than 'classical' computers and its real-world implementation。 It concludes with an in-depth treatment of quantum information。 Containing a wealth of figures and exercises， this well-known textbook is ideal for courses on the subject， and will interest beginning graduate students and researchers in physics， computer science， mathematics， and electrical engineering。

Very accessible， I'm told this is the 'bible' on the subject。 Very accessible， I'm told this is the 'bible' on the subject。 。。。more

I think the books sometimes strays far away from the novel ideas and methods that make Quantum Computation useful and gets too caught up into mathematical formulas， which， in my opinion， isn't the best way to teach this subject。 Anyway， I read the first 2 out of its 3 sections and I'm going to study Quantum Information in depth by reading Watrous' book， as I'm hoping his book is as good or even better than his lecture notes。 I think the books sometimes strays far away from the novel ideas and methods that make Quantum Computation useful and gets too caught up into mathematical formulas， which， in my opinion， isn't the best way to teach this subject。 Anyway， I read the first 2 out of its 3 sections and I'm going to study Quantum Information in depth by reading Watrous' book， as I'm hoping his book is as good or even better than his lecture notes。 。。。more

Best quantum computing textbook out there！

I'm sure this is a great graduate book covering and summarizing a lot of ground， but it was far too proof-focused for me。 Apparently quantum computing is just matrix multiplication， we haven't gotten further than logic gates， and there's no intuition for what it means。 I think I learned more through the Microsoft videos and doing some Quantum katas in Q#。 I'm sure this is a great graduate book covering and summarizing a lot of ground， but it was far too proof-focused for me。 Apparently quantum computing is just matrix multiplication， we haven't gotten further than logic gates， and there's no intuition for what it means。 I think I learned more through the Microsoft videos and doing some Quantum katas in Q#。 。。。more

Stopped at the place where I used for my QI course。 This book is more like a reference text which you should keep with you at all times for referring to details or refresher， so it is somewhat unsuitable to read cover-to-cover unless you are very free。

Very accessible even though I can't do the math。 This really cements the ideas of the power of the abstract qubit so you don't have to bite off understanding quantum mechanics。 I'm amazed that there are actually useful things we could do with qc （it has felt a little like coming to understand how modern computer language constructs are built up from the lambda calculus which at first seems too simple to build anything powerful）。 Very accessible even though I can't do the math。 This really cements the ideas of the power of the abstract qubit so you don't have to bite off understanding quantum mechanics。 I'm amazed that there are actually useful things we could do with qc （it has felt a little like coming to understand how modern computer language constructs are built up from the lambda calculus which at first seems too simple to build anything powerful）。 。。。more

If you are interested in really learning about quantum computing， this is the book for you。 Really well written and describes pretty much every subject you could be interested in （at least as a newbie to the field）。

Great introduction into the concepts of Quantum Computing。 A strong background in linear algebra is necessary to fully follow the material。

Quantum Computation and Quantum Information: 10th Anniversary EditionThis book is definitely THE source to turn to for an understanding of Quantum Computation and Information。 One can only read through the first chapter and you are given the key feature of Quantum Computation and Information。 The advantage of this approach is that Chapter 1 establishes a Quantum roadmap of what you need to know。 You can stop there or you can dive deeper into the technology。 Using the remaining chapters as a refe Quantum Computation and Quantum Information: 10th Anniversary EditionThis book is definitely THE source to turn to for an understanding of Quantum Computation and Information。 One can only read through the first chapter and you are given the key feature of Quantum Computation and Information。 The advantage of this approach is that Chapter 1 establishes a Quantum roadmap of what you need to know。 You can stop there or you can dive deeper into the technology。 Using the remaining chapters as a reference or continuation of course studies。But， it is the 10th Edition and I would have liked to see some new information associated with current trends in Quantum Computing。 For examples:1） Adiabatic verses Gate Arrays，2） Quantum instructions examples， whether it is by circuit manipulation or by an Objective function，3） A review section on quantum Notations （logic， Bra-kets， linear algebra） to help readers get back into it again。This is THE book for those interested in finding out what is Quantum computers， but go slow with the first chapter and use the internet to clarify topics that are new to you， or to just refresh your memory。 If you can skip through Chapter 1， you don't need the book。 。。。more

Great introduction because it reviews both the basic of quantum and computer science， giving a broad perspective that fills in a lot of gaps left by other texts。

4 stars for what I could understand。 The rest must have been 5 stars or more

One of the best book in the field。 Of course is not perfect， becuase not all aspects of the field have been covered nicely and some chapters required ad initio quite deep knowledge of QIT and quantum mechanics but still， for me， together with the book by Mermin is the necessary position as well for rookies and experienced scientists。

Still relevant after a decade in print， it's a must-have reference and a reasonably good teaching tool。 My only beef is the complete lack of even a handful of worked examples。 There seems to be a trend in that direction with some authors and I think they are missing out on an excellent pedagogical tool。 I agree there shouldn't be many， but there should be *some。* Still relevant after a decade in print， it's a must-have reference and a reasonably good teaching tool。 My only beef is the complete lack of even a handful of worked examples。 There seems to be a trend in that direction with some authors and I think they are missing out on an excellent pedagogical tool。 I agree there shouldn't be many， but there should be *some。* 。。。more

An excellent course textbook for Quantum Information Theory。 I'm currently doing chapter 4。 Anyone who wants to compare solutions for exercises is welcome。 An excellent course textbook for Quantum Information Theory。 I'm currently doing chapter 4。 Anyone who wants to compare solutions for exercises is welcome。 。。。more
