Although it was once widely believed that quantum computation would never become a reality, the discovery of quantum error correction nearly ten years ago led to an explosive development of the field. "Quantum Error Correction and Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing" provides a careful explanation of how quantum error correction is possible and how quantum stabilizer codes are constructed.With examples throughout the text, this book demonstrates how fault-tolerant quantum operations can be implemented on encoded quantum information and presents the accuracy threshold theorem for particular noise models. Featuring extensive references, it also includes homework problems in each chapter. INDICE: Introduction. General Properties of Quantum Error Correcting Codes. Quantum Stabilizer Codes (QSC). Encoding and Decoding QSC. Fault Tolerant Quantum Computation. Accuracy Threshold for Reliable Quantum Computing. Bounds on Quantum Error Correcting Codes.
