Quantum Computing and Communications: An Engineering Approach

Based on an introductory course in electrical engineering and computer science taught at the Budapest U. of Technology and Economics, this text approaches this emerging field from the perspective of engineers rather than physicists or mathematicians. This means a viewpoint emphasizing practical applications, e.g., encrypted computer security systems, Web surfing on mobile terminals. Imre and Balázs introduce concepts bridging classical and quantum computing, standard algorithms, and quantum...
