Mathematics of quantum computing : an introduction This textbook presents the elementary aspects of quantum computing in a mathematical form. It is intended as core or supplementary reading for physicists mathematicians and computer scientists taking a first course on quantum computing. It starts by introducing the basic mathematics required for quantum mechanics and then goes on to present in detail the notions of quantum mechanics entanglement quantum gates and quantum algorithms of which Shors factorisation and Grovers search algorithm are discussed extensively. In addition the algorithms for the Abelian Hidden Subgroup and Discrete Logarithm problems are presented and the latter is used to show how the Bitcoin digital signature may be compromised. It also addresses the problem of error correction as well as giving a detailed exposition of adiabatic quantum computing. The book contains around 140 exercises for the student covering all of the topics treated together with an appendix of solutions
