Notes In Quantum Mechanics And Quantum Computing Second Edition

Notes in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computing Solutions Manual

The goal throughout this book is to present a series of topics in quantum mechanics and quantum computing. Topics include angular momentum, the hydrogen atom, quantum entanglement, Deutsch's algorithm, Grover's algorithm, Shor's algorithm, and quantum teleportation. There are nine chapters. Chapter one is a review of complex numbers, vectors, and matrices. Chapter two is a review of vector rotations and reflections. Chapter three introduces the postulates of quantum mechanics, state vectors and the density operator. Chapters four and five introduce angular momentum. Chapter six discusses the hydrogen atom. Chapters seven and eight introduce the fundamental unit of quantum information, the qubit, and present a series of quantum computing topics. Chapter nine discusses polarization states and optical elements, including polarizers and beam splitters. Five appendices are provided, which include a quick review of Fourier transforms and Boolean algebra. Extensive use is made of examples and diagrams. The answers to all of the end-of-chapter problems are available in the solutions manual.

This book provides a self-contained undergraduate course on quantum computing based on classroom-tested lecture notes. It reviews the fundamentals of quantum mechanics from the double-slit experiment to entanglement, before progressing to the basics of qubits, quantum gates, quantum circuits, quantum key distribution, and some of the famous quantum algorithms. As well as covering quantum gates in depth, it also describes promising platforms for their physical implementation, along with error correction, and topological quantum computing. With quantum computing expanding rapidly in the private sector, understanding quantum computing has never been so important for graduates entering the workplace or PhD programs. Assuming minimal background knowledge, this book is highly accessible, with rigorous step-by-step explanations of the principles behind quantum computation, further reading, and end-of-chapter exercises, ensuring that undergraduate students in physics and engineering emerge well prepared for the future.
