Nielsen and Chuang (Quantum Computation and Quantum Information)

Nielsen and Chuang’s *Quantum Computation and Quantum Information* is a foundational textbook that explains how quantum mechanics enables new forms of computation and information processing. It explores concepts like qubits (quantum bits), superposition, entanglement, and quantum algorithms, illustrating how these principles can solve problems faster than classical computers. The book combines physics, computer science, and mathematics to provide a systematic understanding of quantum information theory, making it accessible for students and researchers to develop quantum technologies and understand their potential implications.
