	Quantum Robotics Prateek Tandon, Stanley Lam, Ben Shih, Tanay Mehta, Alex Mitev, Zhiyang Ong Quantum robotics is an emerging engineering and scientific research discipline that explores the application of quantum mechanics, quantum computing, quantum algorithms, and related fields to robotics. This work broadly surveys advances in our scient… Publication Date: January, 2017 Read More
	Approximability of Optimization Problems through Adiabatic Quantum Computation William Cruz-Santos, Guillermo Morales-Luna The adiabatic quantum computation (AQC) is based on the adiabatic theorem to approximate solutions of the Schrodinger equation. The design of an AQC algorithm involves the construction of a Hamiltonian that describes the behavior of the quantum syste… Publication Date: 09/01/2014 Read More
	Adiabatic Quantum Computation and Quantum Annealing Catherine C. McGeoch Adiabatic quantum computation (AQC) is an alternative to the better-known gate model of quantum computation. The two models are polynomially equivalent, but otherwise quite dissimilar: one property that distinguishes AQC from the gate model is its an… Publication Date: 07/01/2014 Read More
	Negative Quantum Channels James M. McCracken This book is a brief introduction to negative quantum channels, i.e., linear, trace-preserving (and consistent) quantum maps that are not completely positive. The flat and sharp operators are introduced and explained. Complete positivity is presented… Publication Date: 06/01/2014 Read More
	Quantum Radar Marco Lanzagorta This book offers a concise review of quantum radar theory. Our approach is pedagogical, making emphasis on the physics behind the operation of a hypothetical quantum radar. We concentrate our discussion on the two major models proposed to date: inter… Publication Date: 01/01/2011 Read More
	High Level Structures for Quantum Computing Jaroslaw Miszczak This book is concerned with the models of quantum computation. Information processing based on the rules of quantum mechanics provides us with new opportunities for developing more efficient algorithms and protocols. However, to harness the power off… Publication Date: 01/01/2012 Read More
	The Complexity of Noise Amit Hagar In quantum computing, where algorithms exist that can solve computational problems more efficiently than any known classical algorithms, the elimination of errors that result from external disturbances or from imperfect gates has become the “holy gra… Publication Date: 01/01/2010 Read More
	Broadband Quantum Cryptography Daniel Rogers Quantum cryptography is a rapidly developing field that draws from a number of disciplines, from quantum optics to information theory to electrical engineering. By combining some fundamental quantum mechanical principles of single photons with variou… Publication Date: 01/01/2010 Read More
	Quantum Walks for Computer Scientists Salvador Elias Venegas-Andraca Quantum computation, one of the latest joint ventures between physics and the theory of computation, is a scientific field whose main goals include the development of hardware and algorithms based on the quantum mechanical properties of those physica… Publication Date: 01/01/2008 Read More
	Quantum Computer Science Marco Lanzagorta, Jeffrey Uhlmann In this text we present a technical overview of the emerging field of quantum computation along with new research results by the authors. What distinguishes our presentation from that of others is our focus on the relationship between quantum computa… Publication Date: 01/01/2008 Read More
