Quantum Computing for Computer Architects, Second Editionby Tzvetan Metodi
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2011; US$ 50.00
Quantum computers can (in theory) solve certain problems far faster than a classical computer running any known classical algorithm. While existing technologies for building quantum computers are in their infancy, it is not too early to consider their scalability and reliability in the context of the design of large-scale quantum computers. To architect... more...

Storing Clocked Programs Inside DNAby Jessica Chang; Dennis Shasha
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2011; US$ 30.00
In the history of modern computation, large mechanical calculators preceded computers. A person would sit there punching keys according to a procedure and a number would eventually appear. Once calculators became fast enough, it became obvious that the critical path was the punching rather than the calculation itself. That is what made the stored program... more...

Quantum Walks for Computer Scientistsby Salvador Venegas-Andraca
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2008; US$ 40.00
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 physical systems used to implement such algorithms. Solving difficult tasks (for example, the Satisfiability... more...

Quantum Computer Scienceby Marco Lanzagorta; Jeffrey Uhlmann
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2009; US$ 40.00
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 computation and computer science. Specifically, our emphasis is on the computational model of quantum computingrather... more...

The Complexity of Noiseby Amit Hagar
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2010; US$ 30.00
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 grail", and a worldwide quest for a large scale fault-tolerant, and computationally superior, quantum computer... more...

High-Level Structures for Quantum Computingby Jaroslaw Miszczak
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2012; US$ 40.00
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 offered by quantum information processing, it is essential to control the behavior of quantum... more...

HPC@Green ITby Ralf Gruber; Vincent Keller; Erich Strohmaier
Springer 2010; US$ 54.99
The authors present methods to reduce computer energy consumption by means of a better usage of a specific set of resources and maximizing the efficiency of the running applications. The processor frequency is adjusted to the needs of the running job, leading to a power drop by a factor of 2 and doubling battery life time of laptops. It is shown how... more...
