A Primer on Quantum Computing

“The authors provide enough material for students of computer science and mathematics to learn the basic rules of quantum mechanics. The authors also provide enough information for students of physics and engineering to understand the basic concepts of algorithm design and its analysis. There are many interesting quantum algorithms worth learning. … This book is written in a way that is easy to read. It is suitable for beginners who are interested in learning quantum algorithms.” (D. J. Guan, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2020)

“This simple yet practical first contact with quantum computing is well written, easy to read, and well structured. … the book is exceptionally interesting for people in CS who want to understand the basic notions behind quantum computing.” (Santiago Escobar, Computing Reviews, October 09, 2019)
