Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "^IQuantum Computing: From Alice to Bob^R provides a distinctive and accessible introduction to the rapidly growing fields of quantum information science and quantum computing. The textbook is designed for undergraduate students and upper-level secondary school students with little or no background in physics, computer science, or mathematics beyond secondary school algebra and a bit of trigonometry. While broadly accessible, the book does not dodge providing a solid conceptual and formal understanding of quantum states and entanglement-the key ingredients in quantum computing. The book includes ^ITry It^Rs, brief exercises that engage the readers in problem solving (both with and without mathematics) and help them digest the many counter-intuitive quantum information science and quantum computing concepts. "This is a much needed bridge between popular and technical texts that provides easy access to the topic of quantum computing for curious readers who aim to go further and deeper in their understanding.""--
