  • An impressively comprehensive textbook adopting a phenomenological approach to quantum physics. The chapters cover everything from basic definitions of key concepts to detailed discussions of the underlying theoretical framework, walking students step-by-step through the necessary mathematics and drawing clear connections between the theory and the most important modern research applications including quantum optics, fluids, nanophysics, entanglement, information, and relativity. With this book, students and researchers will have access to hundreds of real-world examples, exercises, and illustrations to support and expand their understanding. Instructors can tailor the content to suit the length and level of their course and will have access to an online solutions manual with fully worked solutions to all 300+ exercises in the book. Other online resources include Python simulations, additional exercises, and detailed appendices.

Contextuality in Random Variables

  • The mathematical essence of contextuality lies in the similarity of random variables answering the same question in different contexts: contextuality means they are less similar when considered within their respective contexts than when isolated from them. This book presents a principled way of measuring this similarity and distinguishing two forms of context-dependence: contextuality and disturbance. While applicable across a broad range of disciplines, the concept of contextuality in this book is closest to that in quantum physics, where its special forms –in the absence of disturbance – are known as Bell nonlocality and Kochen–Specker contextuality. This systematic introduction requires no prior familiarity with the subject and a very modest mathematical background. Structured as a textbook, complete with exercises and solutions, it is accessible to a broad readership and suitable for teaching. It will be useful to researchers and students in quantum mechanics, philosophy of science, psychology, computer science, linguistics, and probability theory.

  • Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students, this textbook covers the core topics of quantum computing in a format designed for a single-semester course. It will be accessible to learners from a range of disciplines, with an understanding of linear algebra being the primary prerequisite. The textbook introduces central concepts such as quantum mechanics, the quantum circuit model, and quantum algorithms, and covers advanced subjects such as the surface code and topological quantum computation. These topics are essential for understanding the role of symmetries in error correction and the stability of quantum architectures, which situate quantum computation within the wider realm of theoretical physics. Graphical representations and exercises are included throughout the book and optional expanded materials are summarized within boxed 'Remarks'. Lecture notes have been made freely available for download from the textbook's webpage, with instructors having additional online access to selected exercise solutions.

  • Offering a detailed account of the key concepts and mathematical apparatus of quantum mechanics, this textbook is an ideal companion to both undergraduate and graduate courses. The formal and practical aspects of the subject are explained clearly alongside examples of modern applications, providing students with the tools required to thoroughly understand the theory and apply it. The authors provide an intuitive conceptual framework that is grounded in a coherent physical explanation of quantum phenomena, established over decades of teaching and research in quantum mechanics and its foundations. The book's educational value is enhanced by the inclusion of examples and exercises, with solutions available online, and an extensive bibliography is provided. Notes throughout the text provide fascinating context on the tumultuous history of quantum mechanics, the people that developed it, and the questions that still remain at its center. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

  • This introduction to quantum computing from a classical programmer's perspective is meant for students and practitioners alike. More than 50 quantum techniques and algorithms are explained with mathematical derivations and code for simulation, using an open-source code base in Python and C++. New material throughout this fully revised and expanded second edition includes new chapters on Quantum Machine Learning, State Preparation, and Similarity Tests. Coverage includes algorithms exploiting entanglement, black-box algorithms, the quantum Fourier transform, phase estimation, quantum walks, and foundational QML algorithms. Readers will find detailed, easy-to-follow derivations and implementations of Shor's algorithm, Grover's algorithm, SAT3, graph coloring, the Solovay-Kitaev algorithm, Moettoenen's algorithm, quantum mean, median, and minimum finding, Deutsch's algorithm, Bernstein-Vazirani, quantum teleportation and superdense coding, the CHSH game, and, from QML, the HHL algorithm, Euclidean distance, and PCA. The book also discusses productivity issues like quantum noise, error correction, quantum programming languages, compilers, and techniques for transpilation.

  • This book develops and simplifies the concept of quantum mechanics based on the postulates of quantum mechanics. The text discusses the technique of disentangling the exponential of a sum of operators, closed under the operation of commutation, as the product of exponentials to simplify calculations of harmonic oscillator and angular momentum. Based on its singularity structure, the Schrödinger equation for various continuous potentials is solved in terms of the hypergeometric or the confluent hypergeometric functions. The forms of the potentials for which the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation is exactly solvable are derived in detail. The problem of identifying the states of two-level systems which have no classical analogy is addressed by going beyond Bell-like inequalities and separability. The measures of quantumness of mutual information in two two-level systems is also covered in detail.

  • The universe we live in is both strange and interesting. This strangeness comes about because, at the most fundamental level, the universe is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. This is the most spectacularly accurate and powerful theory ever devised, one that has given us insights into many aspects of the world, from the structure of matter to the meaning of information. This textbook provides a comprehensive account of all things quantum. It starts by introducing the wavefunction and its interpretation as an ephemeral wave of complex probability, before delving into the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and exploring its diverse applications, from atomic physics and scattering, to quantum computing. Designed to be accessible, this volume is suitable for both students and researchers, beginning with the basics before progressing to more advanced topics.

  • Summary

    Using linear algebra, the mathematical techniques needed for describing and manipulating qubits are laid out in detail, including quantum circuits. Moreover, the chapter also explains the state evolution of an isolated quantum system, as is predicted by the Schrödinger equation, as well as non-unitary irreversible operations such as measurement. More details of classical and quantum randomness and their mathematical representation is discussed, leading to the density matrix. representation of a quantum state.

  • Summary

    This is the chapter that gets down to applying concepts from the previous chapters about qubits to construct a quantum computer. It teaches how numbers can be stored in quantum computers and how their functions can be evaluated. It also demonstrates the computational speed-up that quantum computers offer over their classical counterparts through the study of Deutsch, Deutsch-Jozsa, and Bernstein-Vazirani algorithms. Finally, it gives a practical demonstration of speed-up in search algorithms provided by Grover’s search algorithm.

  • Summary

    Quantum entanglement requires a minimum of two quantum systems to exist, and each quantum system has to have a minimum of two levels. This is exactly what a two-qubit system is, which in this chapter is explored on various levels: state description, entanglement measures, useful theorems, quantum gates, hidden variable theory, quantum teleportation.
