Review: N/A Review: I know, a lot of us wring our hands at spending 30 plus bucks US on a popularization of science book, 400 pages or not. So, the decision often comes down to Kindle-- significant savings BUT, are the diagrams and LaTex slaughtered so bad you can't read it? Not in this case! First, the author doesn't HAVE that many formulas and diagrams, and equations are generally limited to P=NP (or not) type formats, which are given in the text and bold, so you don't end up with busted page breaks in the middle of illustrations or formulae. Formula display is not a problem unique to Kindle-- most ereaders and tablets have an issue with them. The topics in this book are more conceptual, historic and descriptive (frankly, almost philosophical), so the eread format is just fine. If you like to make notes in "heavy" reading books like this, you'll obviously need a pencil and paper nearby, but need to judge whether getting it quickly and for 12 bucks less is worth that. The links / added resources are up to date, live and not broken, another advantage of the Kindle format. If you read and enjoyed The Golden Ticket ( The Golden Ticket: P, NP, and the Search for the Impossible ), you'll also like this book-- very intellectually stimulating, and brings us up to date on a lot of recent thinking in the intersection between computing and physics. Highly recommended. Kindle Tip: This is one of those titles that has a very GENEROUS (thank you publisher/author!) "look inside" feature on desertcart-- be sure to check it out! You'll see that even "proof" type formulas are given as bullets, so read fine on kindle. Best, the preview itself IS in kindle format, so you get the double advantage of WYSIWYG if you subsequently order via Kindle/ cloud/ tablet, etc. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0521199565 | | Best Sellers Rank | #113,670 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #481 in Physics (Books) #814 in Computer Science Books #1,311 in Computer Science Textbooks | | Country of Origin | India | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (264) | | Dimensions | 15.19 x 2.57 x 22.81 cm | | Generic Name | 1 | | ISBN-10 | 9780521199568 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0521199568 | | Item Weight | 544 g | | Language | English | | Packer | Cambridge University Press | | Print length | 370 pages | | Publication date | 29 April 2013 | | Publisher | Cambridge Univ Pr | | Reading age | 5 years and up | ## Images ![Quantum Computing Since Democritus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EEDwERxsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***S on 30 May 2024* N/A ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***Z on 19 October 2013* I know, a lot of us wring our hands at spending 30 plus bucks US on a popularization of science book, 400 pages or not.

From the very first page, Scott Aaronson takes you through an amazing tour through many fields of human thought: from the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms to quantum mechanics, from Turing machines to cryptography, from the anthropic principle to quantum computers, from discussions on the existence of free will to how time travel and black holes are related to computational problems. Only two caveats: some of the maths might look a bit intimidating for a layman, and most of the material is presented from the viewpoint of a person whose main interest is computational complexity theory: to quote from Scott himself: "In the field I come from, it's never our place to ask if some physical object exists or not, it's to assume it exists and see what computations we can do with it". If these two caveats did not discourage you (personally, I think they should have the opposite effect), get this book and prepare to enjoy every page of it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Quantum Computing Since Democritus - Quantum Computation and Quantum Information: 10th Anniversary Edition - Quantum Computing for Everyone (Mit Press) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/447387766-quantum-computing-since-democritus](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/447387766-quantum-computing-since-democritus) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
