A Quantum Computation Workbook

Teaching quantum computation and information is challenging due to its abstract and theoretical nature, requiring a unified approach across fields. This book organizes the subjects in a manner suitable for physics, mathematics, and engineering courses, with accompanying quantum simulation software from Wolfram Mathematica for self-practice. Demonstrations and examples help students deepen their understanding and explore potential applications.

Teaching quantum computation and information is notoriously difficult, as it requires covering subjects from various fields of science, organizing these subjects consistently in a unified way despite their tendency to favor their specific languages, and overcoming the subjects abstract and theoretical natures, which offer few examples of actual realizations. In this book, we have organized all the subjects required to understand the principles of quantum computation and information processing in a manner suited to physics, mathematics, and engineering courses as early as undergraduate studies. In addition, we provide a supporting package of quantum simulation software from Wolfram Mathematica, specialists in symbolic calculation software. Throughout the books main text, demonstrations are provided that use the software package, allowing the students to deepen their understanding of each subject through self-practice. Readers can change the code so as to experiment with their own ideas and contemplate possible applications. The information in this book reflects many years of experience teaching quantum computation and information. The quantum simulation-based demonstrations and the unified organization of the subjects are both time-tested and have received very positive responses from the students who have experienced them.
