It's a very good book - it's by far the best textbook at this level, and will become the principal text for our new course.

„The authors, experimantalists, being themselves involved in the realization of quantum computers, present with this book a didactically well formed introduction to quantum information processing, including computer architecture, tested and proposed schemes. Clearly, in order to offer this extensive material in a space of only just over 200 pages, the authors had restricted themselves to basic of relevant ideas. The latter are well selected and guide readers attention engagingly in chosen directions. ... This textbook has the advantage that it contains both, theoretical as well as experimental, features of quantum computing, that the exposition is well organized, and for beginners that it omits more advanced mathematical tools. It gives ... a broad overview ... It is an introduction for beginners, a good one, and can be well recommended as such.“

„Generell ist den Autoren die Verbindung unterschiedlicher Bausteine zu einem tragfähigen Ganzen fachlich und didaktisch geglückt ... ein nützliches Buch, das den von seinen Autoren intendierten Zweck ohne Zweifel erfüllt.“
Physik in unserer Zeit
„Das Buch gibt eine beeindruckend aktuelle Beschreibung neuester Experimente ... machen die Autoren mit dem sehr gelungenen Buch trotz der hohen Dichte an Information die grundlegenden Konzepte und Methoden verständlich und geben mit zahlreichen Verweisen und Zitaten auch einen soliden Ausgangspunkt für eine eingehende Beschäftigung mit dem Thema.“
