Adventures in Computer Science - From Classical Bits to Quantum BitsPevná vazba
The main focus of this textbook is the basic unit of information and the way in which our understanding of this has evolved over time. The author then discusses logic, logic gates, reversible computing and reversible architectures, and the concept of disorder. In particular the author covers concepts related to information, classical computing, logic, reversible computing, quantum mechanics, quantum computing, thermodynamics and some artificial intelligence and biology, all approached from the viewpoint of computer sciences.The book begins by asking the following nontrivial question: what is a bit?
Based on these He then tries to establish the relationship between three essential questions that justify quantum approaches in computer sciences: the energy required to perform a real-life computation, the size of current processors, and the reversibility of quantum operations.
