About this book
This book presents various theories and algorithms to create a quantum computer. The concept of the classical and quantum computers, and the concept of circuits and gates are reviewed. The example of the Deutsch and the Deutsch-Josca algorithm is discussed to illustrate some key features of quantum computing. The Grover algorithm, considered to be of major milestone of the subject, is discussed in detail to exemplify the techniques used in computer algorithms. The role of quantum superposition (also called quantum parallelism) and of quantum entanglement is discussed in order to understand the key advantages of a quantum over a classical computer.

About the authors
Prof. Belal Ehsan Baaquie holds a B.S. in Physics from Caltech and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Cornell University, USA. His main research interest is in the study and application of the mathematical methods of quantum field theory. He has applied the mathematical formalism of field theory to finance and been a major contributor to the emerging field of quantum finance. His current focus is on develo** the formalism of quantum finance and applying it to option pricing, corporate coupon bonds, and the theory of interest rates, as well as the study of equity, foreign exchange, and commodities; he has developed forecasting models for commodity prices. He is also applying methodologies from statistical mechanics and quantum field theory to the study of microeconomics and macroeconomics.
