This is a set of lecture notes suitable for a Master's course on quantum computation and
information from the perspective of theoretical computer science. The first version was written in …

… of quantum computing foreseen by Feynman, simulating the dynamics of complex quantum
systems, and computing their … But in that case, we could just consider those extra qubits to be …

… cases quantum computation … quantum computation to these nonstandard audiences. As a
result the level of the book is a bit lower than that found in the standard quantum computation …

… In many cases, it was suggested that more aspects on quantum information would be
welcome. Unfortunately, I am afraid that an attempt to cover such a broad area as …

… This section brings forward some potential use cases for the applications of quantum
computing in healthcare; an illustration of these use cases is presented in Figure 4. …

… We find no entanglement, but large amounts of quantum discord—except in three cases
where an efficient classical simulation is always possible. Our results show that even fully …

… One use case of quantum clustering algorithms can be in privacy enhancement, since
the database holding the vectors to be clustered needs to be queried less in frequency and …

… quantum computation and computer science. Specifically, our emphasis is on the computational
model of quantum computing … In all these cases our challenge has been the same: how …

… quantum computers now appear to be a counterexample. In the following section, I describe
the quantum circuit model for quantum computation… the case of quantum mechanics [16]. He …

… of complex quantum systems. The initial progress toward developing quantum computer
hardware was relatively slow, because the proposed quantum mechanical properties are only …
