Engagingly written—a feast for the reader's inner nerd—it presents the most famous algorithms and applications of quantum computing and quantum information science, including the \"killer apps,\" Grover's search algorithm, and Shor's factoring algorithm. The only prerequisite is precalculus; readers need no knowledge of quantum physics. Matrices are relegated to the (completely optional) final two chapters. The book shows readers that quantum information science is about more than just high-speed calculations and data security.
