Description
This introduction to quantum algorithms explains quantum computing in terms of elementary linear algebra, focusing on computation and algorithms. It provides a comprehensive overview of many key algorithms while maintaining mathematical rigor.
The book assumes some familiarity with vectors, matrices, and their properties, but offers a review of the relevant material from linear algebra to make it accessible to readers without prior knowledge of quantum theory or physics.
By emphasizing computation and algorithms over physical concepts, this book makes quantum algorithms understandable for students and researchers in computer science who may not have studied quantum physics or delved into its finer details.
