An Introduction to Many Worlds in Quantum Computationby Clare Hewitt-Horsman - arXiv
This paper introduces one interpretation of quantum mechanics, a modern 'many-worlds' theory, from the perspective of quantum computation. Reasons for seeking to interpret quantum mechanics are discussed, then the specific theory is introduced.
