This website is where you can find our (Ryohei (Rio) Weil and Arnab Adhikary) solutions manual to Nielsen and Chuang’s “Quantum Computation and Quantum Information” textbook, the bible of QC/QI. We have attempted to make the presentation pedagogical, and have included all of the exercise/problems statements to make the manual self-contained. For each exercise, we have listed the necessary involved concepts, as well as a (subjective) difficulty grading.

Our solutions manual can be found here.

As of the time of writing, chapters 2/4/7/8/9/10/11 and all appendices are fully complete. Most exercises/problems from the remaining chapters have been completed. To be completed are (E=Exercises, P=Problems) P1.1, P1.2, P3.1, P3.7, P3.9, P3.10, E5.17, E5.26, E5.27, E5.28, E5.29, P5.1, P5.5, E6.14, P6.1, P6.3, P6.4, E12.6, E12.7, E12.12, E12.15, P12.3. We plan to finish the manual by the end of 2026.
