Starting with the basics of quantum mechanics, this book builds a strong foundation for understanding the core principles of quantum computing, ensuring that readers with no prior knowledge can follow along, via heavy use of analogies and very little complicated mathematics. The book explores a vast range of material, from quantum natural language processing networks to the gritty details of how qubits are modified in quantum algorithms. Quantum computing may seem to most a heavy, tedious, and infinitely abstract field. However, as daunting as it may be, the field of quantum computing holds the answers for some of the world’s most complex problems, problems that choke up even the most powerful supercomputers. This isn’t to say quantum computers are objectively superior to classical computers, but simply different. If classical computers were cars, quantum computers would be planes. In some cases, it makes sense to use the car – it can be impractical to take a plane for the 3 miles you need to travel. Sometimes, though, it makes sense to fly for a few hours instead of trying to drive across an entire continent. Of course, this analogy is a simplification of the differences between the two, but it still serves as an important boundary nonetheless.
