Compact Representations for the Design of Quantum Logic

Philipp Niemann received a diploma degree in Mathematics and a Dr. rer. nat. degree in Computer Science from the University of Bremen, Germany, in 2012 and 2016, respectively. There, he worked in the Group for Computer Architecture under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rolf Drechsler and Prof. Dr. Robert Wille. Recently, he joined the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) department at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). His research interests include the design of reversible and quantum circuits with a focus on decision diagrams as well as in the verification of formal models.

"This book is in the area of quantum computer design. It proposes a new approach for such designs. It provides the background information required to understand the new approach. It also describes experimental results of the approach. ... The book can be useful for research-level courses." (Maulik A. Dave, Computing Reviews, June, 2018)
