Introduction on quantum computers and algorithms

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on introductory resources for quantum computers and algorithms, specifically mentioning Shor's algorithm. Key recommendations include "An Introduction to Quantum Computing" and the standard texts by Chuang and Nelson, along with Kitaev's work. The participant emphasizes that a deep understanding of mathematics and quantum mechanics is not necessary for initial exploration. The discussion highlights the importance of foundational texts in grasping quantum computing concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with Shor's algorithm and its implications
  • Knowledge of integral calculus and differential equations
  • Awareness of key quantum computing texts, such as those by Chuang and Nelson
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Shor's algorithm and its applications in cryptography

Greetings,
I am looking for a Introduction on quantum computers and algorithms such as shores algorithm(spelling may be wrong).The level of mathematics and QM is irelavent, thus integral calculation and nth degree differentail equation of any form are no problem. Any recommendations are apreciated.

Thanks Greg Bernhardt.It's co.uk for me but thanks

The standard is Chuang and Nelson and to accompany it with Kitaev's.
 
Thanks!
