From Distributed Quantum Computing to Quantum Internet ComputingEdizione 1

Understand the future of the internet with this accessible guide

Quantum computing, which draws upon the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computing functions unrestricted by the binary language of ordinary computing, has developed with extraordinary speed in recent years. Progress in quantum computing and its related technological subfields, including quantum internet, has been rapid enough to suggest that we are living in a “new Quantum Age.” To understand the future of the internet, it’s now essential to understand the present and future of quantum computing and quantum internet computing.

This book provides a groundbreaking overview of this field of technology and its latest developments. It provides readers with a working knowledge of the key topics required to connect quantum computing to the future of distributed computing and the internet, including important issues like quantum protocols, distributed quantum computations, fundamental computations in the quantum internet architecture, and more. The result is an accessible and essential reference for any reader looking to better understand quantum technologies.

From Distributed Quantum Computing to Quantum Internet Computing readers will also find:

• Detailed discussion of topics including qubit states, entanglement, quantum gates, and more.
• Mathematical background for underlying key concepts.
• Worked out examples that aim to initiate readers into the emerging area of quantum internet computing.

This book is ideal for researchers and graduate students in quantum computing, quantum internet, quantum communications, and related fields, as well as Computer Scientists and Information Technology students and researchers who want an introductory overview to quantum internet computing.
