Nonlocal Quantum Computing Theory

by Cheng Hsiao Wu

Overview

Nonlocal Quantum Computing Theory offers a fresh perspective on quantum computing, moving beyond the traditional qubit-based approach to a physics-driven interpretation of computation. The book highlights the limitations and logical flaws in mainstream quantum computing theories and introduces a rule-based, nonlocal quantum computing framework. Covering general-purpose quantum computing, biological applications, and atomic chains in full superposition and entanglement, the book presents a bold new theoretical foundation for the field.

Features:

• Provides a comprehensive introduction to quantum computing from a nonlocal perspective
• Critically examines the limitations of the standard qubit-based approach
• Explores applications in biological systems and atomic chain computations
• Introduces rule-based nonlocal quantum computing theory as an alternative framework
• Includes a historical overview and discussion of quantum parallelism

This book is an essential resource for graduate students in physics and computer science, as well as researchers and professionals engaged in quantum information theory and quantum computing. Its innovative approach contributes to ongoing discussions in the field, making it valuable for those seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations and future of quantum computation.
