Quantum Computing - A Short Course from Theory to Experiment

While most publications in this topic are largely theoretical and aimed at specialists, this textbook has emerged from a lecture series and is oriented towards students and newcomers to the field.

As such, it is the first to discuss experimental realizations in detail, and the experienced teacher authors have tailored this book to the needs of modern university courses. They present the basics of quantum communication and quantum information processing, leading readers to modern implementations, while also discussing errors and decoherence together with ways of avoiding and correcting them.
