The course is also being video recorded. Please contact Khwarizmic Institute of Computer Science, UET for details. I assume the CD's can be made available at some cost.

For an introduction to Quantum Information Processing (QIP) suitable for readers with little background in quantum physics, see the Lecture Notes by Dr. Jonathan Jones.

For a more thorough treatment of QIP check out the course written by John Preskill.

Popular treatments of the subject can be also found at the University of Oxford and University of Cambridge QIP websites. Of course, Google remains the induspitable last (or first) resort.

Some concepts about QIP especially nuclear magnetic resonance based implementations can also be found in my D.Phil. Thesis (2.7 M).

NMR quantum information processing: a detailed review, written by Jonathan Jones (about 350 KB).

Quantum Information Theory: a very first introduction written by C. Bennett and P. Shor. This article was published in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory and is an excellent curtain raiser of the subject.

Putting Quantum Computers into Practice is a juicy two-page Nature article written by Jonathan Jones, addressing the question of building up quantum computers.

Quantum Nonlocality: you may like to read about quantum nonlocality and basic version of John Bell's proof in this Contemporary Physics article written by Lucien Hardy.

Books

A very suitable text for the level of the course is Quantum Computing: A Short Course from Theory to Experiment, by Joachim Stolze and Dieter Suter
