Title: Good Introduction
Product review: This book is by George Johnson on quantum computing. It is a very interesting introductory book and not too long on the math if you are not big on that.I wanted to read something on an introductory level first, so I chose it. I think it was a good choice. I plan to look into some more detailed works on the same subject in the future.To give you a glimpse of what goes on, the book talks about the limits of conventional computers in such areas as cryptography and shows how a quantum computer would make short work of such problems. There is a good, basic introduction to quantum principles and weirdness, so don't panic.I look forward to learning more about this exciting new field.
