Perry Riley T. The Temple of Quantum Computing

Riley T. Perry, 2004. — 250 p. — ASIN: B002ACW2RK.Most of the books or papers on quantum computing require (or assume) prior knowledge of certain areas like linear algebra or physics. The majority of the literature that is currently available is hard to understand for the average computer enthusiast, or interested layman. This text attempts to teach basic quantum computing from the ground up in an easily readable way. It contains a lot of the background in math, physics, and computer science that you will need although it is assumed that you know a little about computer programming.
