One of the first books to thoroughly examine the subject, Quantum
Computing Devices: Principles, Designs, and Analysis covers the
essential components in the design of a "real" quantum computer. It
explores contemporary and important aspects of quantum computation,
particularly focusing on the role of quantum electronic devices as
quantum gates.
Largely self-contained and written in a tutorial style, this reference
presents the analysis, design, and modeling of the major types of
quantum computing devices: ion traps, cavity quantum electrodynamics
(QED), linear optics, quantum dots, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),
superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID), and neutral atom
traps. It begins by explaining the fundamentals and algorithms of
quantum computing, followed by the operations and formalisms of quantum
systems. For each electronic device, the subsequent chapters discuss
physical properties, the setup of qubits, control actions that produce
the quantum gates that are universal for quantum computing, relevant
measurements, and decoherence properties of the systems. The book also
includes tables, diagrams, and figures that illustrate various data,
uses, and designs of quantum computing.
As nanoelectronics will inevitably replace microelectronics, the
development of quantum information science and quantum computing
technology is imperative to the future of information science and
technology. Quantum Computing Devices: Principles, Designs, and Analysis
helps fulfill this need by providing a comprehensive collection of the
most promising devices for the future.
