Problems And Solutions in Quantum
Computing And Quantum Information
by Yorick Hardy Willi-Hans Steeb
This Book Helped Me.
Quantum computing and quantum information are two of the fastest
growing and most exciting research fields in physics. The possibilities of
using the non-local behavior of quantum mechanics to factor integers in
random polynomial time have also added to this new interest. This book
supplies a collection of problems in quantum computing and quantum
information together with their detailed solutions, which will prove to be
invaluable to students as well as to research workers in these fields. All the
important concepts and topics such as quantum gates and quantum
circuits, entanglement, teleportation, Bell states, Bell inequality, Schmidt
decomposition, quantum Fourier transform, magic gate, von Neumann
entropy, quantum cryptography, quantum error correction, coherent states,
squeezed states, POVM measurement, beam splitter and Kerr Hamilton
operator are included. The topics range in difficulty from elementary to

advanced. Almost all problems are solved in detail and most of the
problems are self-contained.
Personal Review: Problems And Solutions in Quantum
Computing And Quantum Information by Yorick Hardy Willi-
Hans Steeb
This text is refreshing if you want a lot of worked examples to help you
through another text like, (Quantum Computation and Quantum
Information, Michael A. Nielsen, Isaac L. Chuang, ISBN: 0521635039). I
was excited when this text came out and had an order in before it got off
the press. When I got the book I immediately found useful worked
examples that helped me get past some of the problems I was having with
the notation in my other books. I have had this book for several months
and have worked though enough of it to give it a 5 star rating. There are
many problems in the text I am not advanced enough to work yet.
I started quantum computing for a research project and taught myself most
of the material I know. This text is not easy and does not start at ground
zero. It had problems I could understand at my level when I purchased it,
but at that point I had an idea of how gates worked and a good solid review
of linear algebra to stand on. I think that the kindest book out of the dozen
on my shelf to a total beginner is, (Approaching Quantum Computing, Dan
C. Marinescu, Gabriela M. Marinescu , ISBN: 013145224X).
This is the only book of its kind available at the time of this review. I wish
the book had more simpler examples and just a bit of an explanation for
some of the solutions. Sometimes the solution is given but it still does not
seem apparent to me. I wish the text was just a bit kinder.
If you are working on a research project and struggling with some of the
notation or the exact details of calculation this text may be extremely useful
to you, but you will need another book to explain the theory.
