Concise Guide to Quantum Computing

This textbook is intended for practical, laboratory sessions associated with the course of quantum computing and quantum algorithms, as well as for self-study. It contains basic theoretical concepts and methods for solving basic types of problems and gives an overview of basic qubit operations, entangled states, quantum circuits, implementing functions, quantum Fourier transform, phase estimation, etc. The book serves as a basis for the application of new information technologies in education and corporate technical training: theoretical material and examples of practical problems, as well as exercises with, in most cases, detailed solutions, have relation to information technologies. A large number of detailed examples serve to better develop professional competencies in computer science.

Presents the ideal combination of a theoretical part containing basics and terminology with an extensive practical part Gives the most of problems with detailed solutions and proofs Is entirely suited for self-study and for corporate technical training due to a well thought-out order of the material presentation Contains the presence of the sections related to specific features of quantum mechanics, as well as the inclusion of such specific problems in many sections of the book Includes numerous explained examples and detailed solution to many typical and most complex problems, which provides a high level of understanding of the course concepts and mastering of the educational material
