Quantum computation and information is a new, rapidly developing
interdisciplinary field. Therefore, it is not easy to understand
its fundamental concepts and central results without facing
numerous technical details. This book provides the reader a useful
and not-too-heavy guide. It offers a simple and self-contained
introduction: no previous knowledge of quantum mechanics or
classical computation is required. Volume 1 may be used as a
textbook for a one-semester introductory course in quantum
information and computation, both for upper-level undergraduate
students and for graduate students. It contains a large number of
solved exercises, which are an essential complement to the text, as
they will help the student to become familiar with the subject. The
book may also be useful as general education for readers who want
to know the fundamental principles of quantum information and
computation and who have the basic background acquired from their
undergraduate course in physics, mathematics, or computer science.
