Quantum Computing Fundamentals – Qubits

by ComputingNotes
Source book: Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, Michael A. Neilsen and Isaac L. Chuang Analogy between classical bit and quantum bit (qubit).Classical bit has 0 or 1 value whereas qubit can have state $|0\rangle$ or $|1\rangle$ along with linear combination ot those states (superposition). While classical bit can be measured deterministically with value either 0 ... Read More

Quantum Computing – Fundamental Concepts

by ComputingNotes
Nielsen, M. A., & Chuang, I. L. (2010). Quantum computation and quantum information. Cambridge university press. Key events in the field of quantum computation are, occurance of various crises in physics such as “ultraviolet catastrophe” in twentieth century with modern theory of quantum quantum mechanics starting in 1920s. Various other crucial algorithms are no-cloning theorem, Turing ... Read More
