The explanations are reasonably clearly laid out and the exercises aid the understanding, although I would have liked more of them. There is a manual of answers, although I have not needed it, which is available only to registered lecturers. Some self-learners may find that annoying. The book caters for both physicists and mathematicians. I treated much of the physics as background material. Mathematicians need a sound knowledge of trig functions - cos(a + b), etc - as well as competence with matrix manipulation. Overall, I am finding the book easily accessible. Review: This book walk you through from basic quantum physics to quantum computing algorithms. Then it ends up to a few chapters to address a variety of cutting-edge quantum computer hardware implementation such as superconducting, trapped ions etc. You won't learn quantum computer in depth by reading this book. But it's definitely the FISRT must-read in this discipline.
