This compilation of tutorial documents is intended as an introductory text on quantum computation and as a self-learning guide. It is an attempt to collect some fundamental principles and elementary methods in the field of quantum computation and quantum information and then reorganize them in a compact and integrated form. Through tutorial documents in this compilation, the usage of
It summarizes the fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics and effectively provides a brief review of basic concepts and fundamental principles of quantum mechanics.
It presents and describes elementary quantum gates for universal quantum computation. These are the building blocks of quantum algorithms and quantum communication protocols.
It introduces some widely known quantum algorithms to help grasp the idea of the so-called quantum supremacy of quantum algorithms over their classical counterparts.
It introduces mathematical methods including quantum operation and quantum master equation to describe quantum noise and decoherence effects. It also discusses the distance measures for quantum states.
It introduces quantum information theory. It discusses the entropies of quantum information content and the measures for quantum entanglement degree focusing on quantum entanglement as a valuable physical resource for quantum information processing and quantum communication.
