Summary "This book is an introduction to quantum computation, developing the basic elements of this new branch of computational theory without assuming any background in physics. It begins with an introduction to quantum theory from a computer-science perspective. It illustrates the quantum-computational approach with several elementary examples of quantum speed-up, before moving to the major applications: Shot's factoring algorithm, Grover's search algorithm, and quantum error corrections."--BOOK JACKET
