Mathematics of Quantum Computation

Mathematics of Quantum Computation brings together some of the world's leading computer scientists, chemists, mathematicians, and physicists to provide the first interdisciplinary but mathematically focused exploration of the field's foundations and state of the art. Each section of the book addresses an area of major research interest, and does so with introductory material that brings newcomers quickly up to speed. Advanced chapters present recent developments not yet published in the open literature. This is the first treatment of the subject that has the technical depth and breadth needed by those interested in the challenges being confronted at the frontiers of research.
