Quantum computers will revolutionize the way telecommunicationsnetworks function. Quantum computing holds the promise of solving problems thatwould be intractable with conventional computers by implementingprinciples from quantum physics in the development of computerhardware, software and communications equipment.
Quantum–assisted computing will be the first step towards fullquantum systems, and will cause immense disruption of ourtraditional networks. The world s biggest manufacturers areinvesting large amounts of resources to develop crucialquantum–assisted circuits and devices.
Quantum Computing and Communications:
- Gives an overview of basic quantum computing algorithms andtheir enhanced versions such as efficient database searching,counting and phase estimation.
- Introduces quantum–assisted solutions for telecom problemsincluding multi–user detection in mobile systems, routing in IPbased networks, and secure ciphering key distribution.
- Includes an accompanying website featuring exercises (withsolution manual) and sample algorithms from the classical telecomworld, corresponding quantum–based solutions, bridging the gapbetween pure theory and engineering practice.
This book provides telecommunications engineers, as well asgraduate students and researchers in the fields of computer scienceand telecommunications, with a wide overview of quantum computing& communications and a wealth of essential, practicalinformation.
