Presents an overview of the mathematical aspects of quantum computing. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in quantum computing from different areas of physics, mathematics, informatics and computer science.

Provides an overview on the decoherence suppression methods in quantum computing, open quantum systems, quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing. This title includes concepts in geometric quantum computing by composite pulses. It explains quantum wipe effect as an approach for suppressing decoherence of the system.

A collection of lecture notes/contributions from a summer school on decoherence, entanglement & entropy and a workshop on MPS (matrix product states) & DMRG (density matrix renormalization group). It is prepared in a self-contained manner so that readers with a modest background in quantum information and quantum computing may understand.

The open research center project "Interdisciplinary fundamental research toward realization of a quantum computer" has been supported by the Ministry of Education, Japan for five years. This book is a collection of the research outcomes by the members engaged in the project.

This book is a collection of lecture notes and contributions in "Summer School on Diversities in Quantum Computation/Information" held on 1 5 August, 2010 at U-Community Hotel, Higashi-Osaka, Japan. Lecturers are world class authorities in respective areas in quantum information and quantum computing including physics, mathematics, chemistry and information science. They lectured on cutting-edge research frontiers where they are currently working, including quantum error correction, relativistic quantum information, quantum computing of link polynomials, quantum algorithms, etc. Each lecture note is written in a self-contained manner so that it may be used as a textbook for one semester graduate course or advanced undergraduate course. Contributions report current research subjects also in a self-contained manner. We believe that these articles are accessible to the readers form various disciplines.

This book is a collection of contributions from a Summer Workshop on "Physics, Mathematics, and All That Quantum Jazz." Subjects of the symposium include quantum information theory, quantum annealing, Bose gases, and thermodynamics from a viewpoint of quantum physics. Contributions to this book are prepared in a self-contained manner so that readers with a modest background may understand the subjects.
