Quantum computing is an emerging technology with the potential to have a significant impact on science and society. Recent advances in mathematics, material science and computer engineering are transforming quantum computing from theory into practice. As quantum computing is an entirely different concept compared to classical computing, it is necessary to develop a new way of thinking to establish the new technologies for the current quantum revolution. This book is an essential resource for students and active researchers where the readers are introduced to quantum computing and quantum logic, fault tolerant quantum computing and quantum dot cellular automata (QCA).

With the advent of nanotechnology, quantum computing is increasingly playing a large role in developing more compact and lower power consumption computers. The use of the properties of quantum mechanics has increased the speed certain computations dramatically. Quantum computing is one of the most promising nanotechnologies for designing modern compact computers. The quantum computer is an entirely different concept than the traditional computer and it does not use binary logic. Quantum computers can assess more than one probability at a time through something called quantum entanglement.

The switching and memory units of a computing system are becoming as small as an atom, and switching techniques have reached their peak of development. Therefore, it is necessary to discover an entirely new way of thinking to build computing machines. Recently, advances in mathematics, materials science, and computer engineering have transformed quantum computing machines from theory to practice.

This quantum computing book covers basic quantum computing, fault-tolerant quantum computing, and quantum dot cellular automata (QCA). The basic quantum computing part of this book comprises designs for different quantum circuits, including the adder, multiplier, divider, encoder, decoder, barrel shifter, comparator, and arithmetic logic unit. These quantum circuits are the building blocks of a quantum computer. Readers will obtain an understanding of quantum computing from the basic to the advanced level, which will help them to design new quantum circuits.
