Introduction to Quantum Computing : 2nd Edition

This book, now in an expanded second edition, provides a self-contained undergraduate course on quantum computing based on classroom-tested lecture notes. It reviews the fundamentals of quantum mechanics from the double-slit experiment to entanglement, before progressing to the basics of qubits, quantum gates, quantum algorithms, and quantum error correction. The text is designed for students with a background in linear algebra and calculus, making it accessible to those new to the field. Each chapter includes worked examples and exercises to reinforce understanding. The book covers key topics such as quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography, and quantum computing architectures. It also discusses current challenges and future directions in quantum computing, making it suitable for both classroom use and self-study. The expanded second edition includes additional material on recent developments and applications in the field.
