A nicely written script from the lecture "Introduction to Quantum Computing" offered by Prof. Christian B. Mendl at TUM. It includes the following topics: Basic Concepts (quantum bits, single qubit gates, multiple qubits, multiple qubit gates, quantum measurement, Heisenberg uncertainty principle), Entanglement and its applications (quantum teleportation, EPR and Bell inequality), Quantum search algorithms (quantum oracles, Grover's algorithm, optimality of the search algorithm), The Density operator (ensembles of quantum states, general properties of the density operator, the reduced density operator), Quantum operation (motivation and overview, environments and quantum operations, operator-sum representation, axiomatic approach to quantum operations, examples).
