This book integrates the foundations of quantum computing with a hands-on coding approach to this emerging field; it is the first work to bring these strands together in an updated manner. This work is suitable for both academic coursework and corporate technical training.
In this book we will explore quantum computing – an emerging platform that is fundamentally different than the way we compute with current digital platforms. To be sure, we are years away from scaled quantum computers. Yet, we now know that such systems are possible; with advances in engineering we are likely to see real impact.
In this book we will explore how to build a computer of a very different kind than humans have ever built before. What is distinct about this book is that we will go beyond the theoretical into the practical work of how we can build such computers and how we can write applications for these systems. There are now several development libraries which we can use to program cloud-based quantum systems. We will walk through code examples and show the reader how to build a quantum circuit comprised of a set of operators to address a particular challenge. We will mainly use Python in this book.
This volume comprises three books under one cover: Part I outlines the necessary foundations of quantum computing and quantum circuits. Part II walks through the canon of quantum computing algorithms and provides code on a range of quantum computing methods in current use. Part III covers the mathematical toolkit required to master quantum computing. Additional resources include a table of operators and circuit elements and a companion GitHub site providing code and updates.
“Quantum Computing will change our world in unexpected ways. Everything technology leaders, engineers and graduate students need is in this book including the methods and hands-on code to program on this novel platform.” -Eric Schmidt, PhD, Former Chairman and CEO of Google; Founder, Innovation Endeavors
