Description for Semantic Techniques in Quantum Computation
hardcover. Explores quantum computation from the perspective of the branch of theoretical computer science known as semantics. Editor(s): Gay, Simon; Mackie, Ian. Num Pages: 492 pages, 161 b/w illus. 27 tables. BIC Classification: PHQ; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 162 x 32. Weight in Grams: 820.
The study of computational processes based on the laws of quantum mechanics has led to the discovery of new algorithms, cryptographic techniques, and communication primitives. This book explores quantum computation from the perspective of the branch of theoretical computer science known as semantics, as an alternative to the more well-known studies of algorithmics, complexity theory, and information theory. It collects chapters from leading researchers in the field, discussing the theory of quantum programming languages, logics and tools for reasoning about quantum systems, and novel approaches to the foundations of quantum mechanics. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers ... Read more

Reviews for Semantic Techniques in Quantum Computation
"This is a well written and interesting research oriented book. I write"research oriented" because I could not imagine using it in class as a textbook, although some of the articles might interest some post-graduate students. But indeed this book provides a great source of information for all researchers working in the elds of logic, semantics, and quantum computation." ... Read more
