Introduction to Quantum Algorithms for Physics and Chemistry
by Man-Hong Yung, et al.
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 44
Description:
In this introductory review, we focus on applications of quantum computation to problems of interest in physics and chemistry. We describe quantum simulation algorithms that have been developed for electronic-structure problems, thermal-state preparation, simulation of time dynamics, adiabatic quantum simulation, and density functional theory.

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.

Introduction to Coherent States and Quantum Information Theoryby Kazuyuki Fujii - arXiv
The purpose of this paper is to introduce several basic theorems of coherent states and generalized coherent states based on Lie algebras su(2) and su(1,1), and to give some applications of them to quantum information theory for graduate students.
