This concise, accessible text provides a thorough introduction to
quantum computing - an exciting emergent field at the interface of the
computer, engineering, mathematical and physical sciences. Aimed at
advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in these
disciplines, the text is technically detailed and is clearly illustrated
throughout with diagrams and exercises. Some prior knowledge of linear
algebra is assumed, including vector spaces and inner products. However,
prior familiarity with topics such as tensor products and spectral
decomposition is not required, as the necessary material is reviewed in
the text.
