This book covers the basic quantum computing, quantum fault tolerant computing, Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) and QCA fault tolerant computing. Organized into four parts with thirty-one chapters, each part focuses on one particular area of quantum computing. In addition to updates to chapters to reflect developments in the last few years, this new edition sees the inclusion of problems to every chapter and eight new chapters. Ranging from basic concepts to advanced circuit design, students and researchers from academia, and increasing industry, can develop a working understanding of circuit-based quantum computing as part of their general education or as a prelude to independent research on Quantum Computing.
