Abstract

We propose an elementary introduction to Quantum Computing. We will explain Deutsch Algorithm (the first and simplest quantum algorithm), and Counterfactual Computations, or how to get a computation result without making your computer running, except in "parallel universe" (cum grano salis).

Keywords

Quantum Gates, Qubit, Quantum Computation, Quantum Information, Counterfactual Computation.
