Quantum Computing: General Considerations
摘要
Of all the modern applications that have arisen in recent decades, quantum computing is the one that has attracted the most attention and the most research funding. In this chapter, we discuss what quantum computing is and the advantages it would bring. Focus in this chapter is on general aspects that are independent of the physical platform used to implement the computing hardware. Potential physical platforms are discussed in Part IV, and specific quantum algorithms are discussed in Chap. 17 .
