A concise introduction to quantum probability , quantum mechanics , and quantum computation

Quantum mechanics is one of the most interesting and surprising pillars of modern physics. Its basic precepts require only undergraduate or early graduate mathematics; but because quantum mechanics is surprising, it is more difficult than these prerequisites suggest. Moreover, the rigorous and clear rules of quantum mechanics are sometimes confused with the more difficult and less rigorous rules of quantum field theory.
