Description

This is a timely, self-contained introduction to the rapidly expanding field of quantum information and computation that avoids detailed mathematical proofs wherever possible. The author uses a mixed exposition between a popular and technical approach, connecting the standard results of the field with more recent developments. A complete but not highly technical textbook for students of physics, mathematics, and computer science.
