Chris Bernhardt is Professor of Mathematics at Fairfield University and the author of Turing's Vision- The Birth of Computer Science (MIT Press).
"Recently there has been a tremendous media buzz about the coming
quantum computing revolution. Chris Bernhardt has masterfully
crafted this short book to teach the basics to anyone interested in
this fascinating field. The reader is not expected to know more
than high school mathematics, and with that, this extremely
accessible book will guide you through the many parts of quantum
computing." – Noson S. Yanofsky, Professor, Brooklyn College,
Department of Computer and Information Sciences; coauthor of
Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists; and author of The Outer
Limits of Reason
"Bernhardt has written a clear, no-nonsense introduction to quantum
computing and information -- one that takes beginners by the hand
and leads them up to a working understanding of quantum
teleportation, Bell's inequality, Simon's algorithm, and more. I'll
enthusiastically recommend this book to the next beginner who asks
me." – Scott Aaronson, David J. Bruton Centennial Professor of
Computer Science and Director of the Quantum Information Center at
the University of Texas at Austin; author of Quantum Computing
Since Democritus
"Will the bit ever be replaced by the qubit? Quantum computers now
loom on the technical horizon. This essential text opens the door
for technical readers to walk through a gallery of quantum effects
leading to the basics of quantum computing." – Keewatin A. Dewdney,
Professor of Computer Science, University of Western Ontario
