This book provides a self-contained undergraduate course on quantum computing based on classroom-tested lecture notes. It reviews the fundamentals of quantum mechanics from the double-slit experiment to entanglement, before progressing to the basics of qubits, quantum gates, quantum circuits, quantum key distribution, and some of the famous quantum algorithms. As well as covering quantum gates in depth, it also describes promising platforms for their physical implementation, along with error correction, and topological quantum computing. With quantum computing expanding rapidly in the private sector, understanding quantum computing has never been so important for graduates entering the workplace or PhD programs. Assuming minimal background knowledge, this book is highly accessible, with rigorous step-by-step explanations of the principles behind quantum computation, further reading, and end-of-chapter exercises, ensuring that undergraduate students in physics and engineering emerge well prepared for the future.

This is a book about scientists, their environment and their inter-relationships as viewed from the diverse and sometimes conflicting perspectives of a group of behavioural and management scientists. The society of the contributors to this volume is no exception. Thus, the papers in this book reflect many differences - in viewpoint, approach, emphasis, methodology and value orientation. In this brief chapter we will note some of the differences in the approach to problems in the research society since we feel these in particular might be useful for the reader to keep in mind as he examines the contents of the book.
