Quantum Computing Books: What to Read After Graduation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To deepen knowledge in Quantum Computing post-graduation, essential readings include Nielsen & Chuang's "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information," despite its age, as it provides foundational concepts. Additional recommendations focus on the Mathematics of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics field theory, although the latter is not crucial for understanding Quantum Computing concepts. Given the rapid evolution of the field, it is imperative to seek out the most current literature, ideally published within the last 2-3 years, to stay updated on advancements such as Shor's algorithm.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with mathematical concepts relevant to Quantum Mechanics
  • Basic knowledge of Quantum Computing terminology
  • Awareness of recent developments in Quantum Computing
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" by Nielsen & Chuang
  • Explore recent publications on Quantum Computing advancements
  • Study Shor's algorithm and its implications in Quantum Computing
  • Investigate the latest research papers on Quantum Mechanics and its applications in Quantum Computing
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, researchers in Quantum Computing, and anyone seeking to expand their understanding of Quantum Computing theory and applications.

I'm a third year physics student and just wanted to know for the future, what books should I get in order to learn more about Quantum Computing (theory behind it)? I know Quantum Mechanics books, yes, but what else like after graduation?

Thanks so much!

So far on my list is just books on:
-Mathematics of QM
-QM field theory

And that's it, not sure where else to go.

The standard text on QC is Nielsen&Chuang's book, it is getting a bit old but so is every other book in the field (any text older than about 2-3 years will not be up-do-date, it is such a rapidly developing field).
Most of the QM in it is at the undergrad level so it is a good place to start (btw, there is no real reason to study field theory if you are interested in QC; at least not if you are only interested in the concept as such and not in a specific implementation)
 
I am doing a study project on Quantum Computing, please suggest me some of the books which can give me the very basic knowledge of the area and about the Shor's algorithm.
So that i can understand the subject of Quantum Computing.
Thanking you
