Quantum Walks: A Comprehensive Review
by Salvador E. Venegas-Andraca
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 88
Description:
Quantum walks, the quantum mechanical counterpart of classical random walks, is an advanced tool for building quantum algorithms that has been recently shown to constitute a universal model of quantum computation. In this paper we review theoretical advances on the foundations of both discrete- and continuous-time quantum walks, together with the role that randomness plays in quantum walks.

Quantum Computing Since Democritusby Scott Aaronson - University of Waterloo
We'll start out with various scientific problems that predate quantum computing: for example, the measurement problem, P versus NP, the existence of secure cryptography, the Humean problem of induction, or the possibility of closed timelike curves.

A brief introduction of quantum cryptography for engineersby Bing Qi, Li Qian, Hoi-Kwong Lo - arXiv
We present the principles behind quantum key distribution and discuss a few well-known QKD protocols. We focus more on the implementation of QKD protocols rather than security analysis. Another topic covered here is the security of QKD systems.

Quantum Information and Computationby John Preskill - California Institute of Technology
We will study the properties that distinguish quantum information from classical information. And we will see how these properties can be exploited in the design of quantum algorithms that solve certain problems faster than classical algorithms can.
