From Distributed Quantum Computing to Quantum Internet Computing - by Seng W Loke (Hardcover)

About the Book

"There have been tremendous developments in quantum computing, quantum cryptography, quantum communications, and the quantum internet in recent decades, leading to what has been called "the new quantum age". The quantum internet will not necessarily replace the internet we know and use today, but has potential to complement it. This book provides an introductory overview of quantum internet computing, where distributed quantum computing is used over the quantum internet, using quantum information. Written by an expert in the field, this book introduces four key topics such as distributed quantum computing, distributed quantum computing via non-local or distributed quantum gates, delegating quantum computations, blind quantum computing, and verifying delegated quantum computations, and quantum internet with concepts and key ideas. Comprised of 7 chapters, the author discusses mathematical and quantum computing background, a selection of distributed quantum computing problems and quantum protocols, distributed quantum circuits and distributed quantum computing algorithms, concepts of entanglement swapping and entanglement purification, and much more vital information. Ideal for researchers and graduate students, this book provides a range of key concepts and ideas and discusses them in depth, including detailed calculations often needed in seeing how a protocol or concept actually works"--

Book Synopsis

From Distributed Quantum Computing to Quantum Internet Computing

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.
