Quantum Computer Science: An Introduction

Textbook - Quantum Computer Science: An Introduction ISBN: 0521876583
Binding: Hardcover
Edition: 1
Author(s): N. David Mermin
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Number of Pages: 236

In the 1990's it was realized that quantum physics has some spectacular applications in computer science This book is a concise introduction to quantum computation developing the basic elements of this new branch of computational theory without assuming any background in physics It begins with an introduction to the quantum theory from a computer-science perspective It illustrates the quantum-computational approach with several elementary examples of quantum speed-up before moving to the major applications: Shor's factoring algorithm Grover's search algorithm and quantum error correction The book is intended primarily for computer scientists who know nothing about quantum theory but will also be of interest to physicists who want to learn the theory of quantum computation and philosophers of science interested in quantum foundational issues It evolved during six years of teaching the subject to undergraduates and graduate students in computer science mathematics engineering and physics at Cornell University

The Cybernetic Brain: Sketches of Another Future

Textbook - The Cybernetic Brain: Sketches of Another Future ISBN: 0226667901
Binding: Paperback
Edition:
Author(s): Andrew Pickering
Publisher: University Of Chicago Press
Number of Pages: 536

Cybernetics is often thought of as a grim military or industrial science of control But as Andrew Pickering reveals in this beguiling book a much more lively and experimental strain of cybernetics can be traced from the 1940s to the present

The Cybernetic Brain explores a largely forgotten group of British thinkers including Grey Walter Ross Ashby Gregory Bateson R D Laing Stafford Beer and Gordon Pask and their singular work in a dazzling array of fields Psychiatry engineering management politics music architecture education tantric yoga the Beats and the sixties counterculture all come into play as Pickering follows the history of cybernetics impact on the world from contemporary robotics and complexity theory to the Chilean economy under Salvador Allende What underpins this fascinating history Pickering contends is a shared but unconventional vision of the world as ultimately unknowable a place where genuine novelty is always emerging And thus Pickering avers the history of cybernetics provides us with an imaginative model of open-ended experimentation in stark opposition to the modern urge to achieve domination over nature and each other
