Mathematics of Quantum Computation

Summary: Well chosen and well written.
Review: The individual papers, and their authors, represent a great choice on the part of the editors. The list of authors includes the editors themselves, Lov Grover, David Meyer, Michael Freedman, Noland Wallach, and more. A deeper understanding of the math of quantum computation divides itself naturally into the parts and the chapters (15 chapters in all) of the book, and some that aren't in the book. A choice must always be made, but what is there is central, well written, and well explained:--

entanglement, kinematics and invariants for systems of a small number of qubits, universal quantum gates, quantum search,
complexity, error-correction codes, teleportation, and quantum
cryptography, are central;-- and the reader of this lovely book gets a good idea of what they are all about.
