Books like Quantum Computer Science by N. David Mermin

Gary Zukav's acclaimed exploration of quantum physics, bridging the gap between science and popular culture.

Scott Aaronson surveys the foundations of quantum computing, weaving through logic, set theory, complexity, cryptography, and the physics of quantum states, while also touching on philosophical topics.

A physicist argues that consciousness, not matter, underlies all existence and that the universe is a self‑aware system creating the physical world.

A fascinating look at the historic gathering of the world's leading physicists in Copenhagen, 1932, where the future of science was about to be altered by the Faustian bargains of the era.

A comprehensive, second‑edition text on quantum mechanics that refreshes the mathematical foundation, explores time‑reversal invariance, and delivers an extensive treatment of path integrals for advanced undergraduates and graduate students.

"The multidisciplinary field of quantum computing strives to exploit some of the uncanny aspects of quantum mechanics to expand our computational horizons. Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists takes readers on a tour of this fascinating area of cutting-edge research. Written in an accessible yet rigorous fashion, this book employs ideas and techniques familiar to every student of computer science. The reader is not expected to have any advanced mathematics or physics background. After presenting the necessary prerequisites, the material is organized to look at different aspects of quantum computing from the specific standpoint of computer science. There are chapters on computer architecture, algorithms, programming languages, theoretical computer science, cryptography, information theory, and hardware. The text has step-by-step examples, more than two hundred exercises with solutions, and programming drills that bring the ideas of quantum computing alive for today's computer science students and researchers"--from publisher description.
