Description
Building Quantum Computers: A Practical Introduction by Shayan Majidy, Christopher Wilson, and Raymond Laflamme is a comprehensive textbook that explores four advanced platforms for quantum computing: nuclear magnetic resonance, quantum optics, trapped ions, and superconducting systems. The authors provide a balanced analysis of the strengths and weaknesses inherent to each type of hardware, along with fundamental physical concepts underpinning the practical implementation of quantum computing. The book includes over 80 carefully designed exercises with worked solutions, applied problems from key scenarios, and suggestions for further reading, making it an invaluable resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students in physics, engineering, and computer science. This textbook is a valuable resource for those looking to learn about the latest developments in this emerging field. Suitable for those seeking a practical introduction to quantum computing, this book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts and practical applications of four advanced platforms.
