Quantum Physics
Title: an introduction to quantum computing.
Abstract: Quantum Computing is a new and exciting field at the intersection of mathematics, computer science and physics. It concerns a utilization of quantum mechanics to improve the efficiency of computation. Here we present a gentle introduction to some of the ideas in quantum computing. The paper begins by motivating the central ideas of quantum mechanics and quantum computation with simple toy models. From there we move on to a formal presentation of the small fraction of (finite dimensional) quantum mechanics that we will need for basic quantum computation. Central notions of quantum architecture (qubits and quantum gates) are described. The paper ends with a presentation of one of the simplest quantum algorithms: Deutsch's algorithm. Our presentation demands neither advanced mathematics nor advanced physics.

At CERN, the research activities around quantum information processing tech-nologies crystallized in 2020 in the creation of the Quantum Technology Initiative (QTI), which encompasses the areas of quantum computing, quantum communica-tion, quantum sensing and quantum simulation.
This paper discusses the reason of quantum computer's powerful computing ability — the correlation effect between quantum entangled states. Several possible schemes of quantum computer are introduced.
This paper introduces the basic concepts of quantum computing, particularly for a general-purpose gate-based quantum computer, and describes the well-researched applications of quantum computing for non-experts.
The paper begins by motivating the central ideas of quantum mechanics and quantum computation with simple toy models. From there we move on to a formal presentation of the small fraction of (finite dimensional) quantum mechanics that we will need for basic quantum computation.
