Summary: This is a very brief introduction to quantum computing and quantum information theory, primarily aimed at geometers. Beyond basic definitions and examples, I emphasize aspects of interest to geometers, especially connections with asymptotic representation theory. Proofs can be found in standard references such as [A. Yu. Kitaev et al., Classical and quantum computation. Providence, RI: AMS, American Mathematical Society (2002; Zbl 1022.68001)] and [M. A. Nielsen and I. L. Chuang, Quantum computation and quantum information. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2000; Zbl 1049.81015)] as well as [the author, Quantum computation and information.
