Quantum computers are the proposed centerpieces of a revolutionary, 21st-century quantum information technology. Ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in modern quantum physics, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: From Photons to Quantum Computers takes the reader into the fascinating world of quantum mechanics and continues on an in-depth study of quantum information and quantum computing, including an entire chapter on the future of quantum technology. This accessible text with modern applications focuses on what is `quantum` about quantum mechanics; topics discussed include the EPR paradox, entanglement, teleportation, Bell`s Theorem, quantum computing, and code-breaking with quantum computers.
KEY FEATURES
Focuses on the `non-classical` aspects of quantum mechanics, such as EPR correlations and Einstein`s `spooky action at a distance,` without neglecting the `machinery` of quantum mechanics
Contains chapters on modern quantum topics, including interaction-free measurement, quantum factoring, and quantum computing, not found in traditional quantum mechanics textbooks
Discusses the process of teleportation; no longer science fiction, but firmly grounded in experimentation
Presents key quantum algorithms, such as the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, Shor`s factoring algorithm, and Grover`s database search algorithm, that demonstrate how quantum computers rival traditional computers
Contains an in-depth chapter that presents, quantitatively, the physics of an actual quantum computer
Include numerous exercises at the end of each section to evaluate the acquired knowledge ISBN 9789380298597
