As miniaturisation deepens, and nanotechnology and its machines become more prevalent in the real world, the need to consider using quantum mechanical concepts to perform various tasks in computation increases. Such tasks include: the teleporting of information, breaking heretofore unbreakable codes, communicating with messages that betray eavesdropping, and the generation of random numbers. This is the first book to apply quantum physics to the basic operations of a computer, representing the ideal vehicle for explaining the complexities of quantum mechanics to students, researchers and computer engineers alike, as they prepare to design and create the computing and information delivery systems for the future. Both authors have backgrounds in the subject matter at the theoretical and more practical level. While serving as a text for senior grad level students in computer science physics engineering, this book has its primary use as an up-to-date reference work in the emerging interdisciplinary field of quantum computing – the only prerequisite being knowledge of calculus and familiarity with the concept of the Turning machine.
