Quantum 2021

A journey through music of different eras performed with great sensitivity by violist Krzysztof Komendarek-Tymendorf. The album title, 'Quantum of Silence' implies a sound in which there is silence or a vacuum to be filled, alludes to his focus on creating music not only via the notes themselves but during the spaces in between.

This new edition of a well-received textbook provides a concise introduction to both the theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum information at the graduate level. While the previous edition focused on theory, the book now incorporates discussions of experimental platforms. Several chapters on experimental implementations of quantum information protocols have been added: implementations using neutral atoms, trapped ions, optics, and solidstate systems are each presented in its own chapter.

This book integrates the foundations of quantum computing with a hands-on coding approach to this emerging field; it is the first to bring these elements together in an updated manner. This work is suitable for both academic coursework and corporate technical training.
