About Dancing With Qubits: How Quantum Computing Works

Explore the principles and practicalities of quantum computingKey FeaturesDiscover how quantum computing works and the straightforward math behind itLearn how it may become the most important new computer technology of the centuryExplore the inner workings of quantum computing technologyBook DescriptionQuantum computing is making us change how we think about computers. Quantum bits, a.k.a. qubits, may make it possible to solve problems and do this much faster than previously thought with current computing technology.Dancing with Qubits starts with an overview of why quantum computing is so different from classical computing and describes several industry use cases where it may have a major impact. From there it moves on to a fuller description of classical computing and the mathematical underpinnings necessary to understand such concepts as superposition, entanglement, and interference. Next up is circuits and algorithms, both basic and more sophisticated. It then nicely moves on to provide a survey of the physics and engineering ideas behind how quantum computing hardware is built. Finally, it looks to the future and gives you a guide to understand how further developments will affect you.Really understanding quantum computing requires a lot of math, and this book doesn’t shy away from the necessary math concepts you’ll need. Each topic is introduced and explained thoroughly, in clear English with helpful examples.What you will learnSee how Quantum Computing works, what makes it different, and why it could be so powerfulDiscover the complex, mind-bending mechanics that underpin quantum systemsUnderstand the necessary mathematical concepts behind classical and quantum computingRefresh and extend your grasp of computing, quantum theory, and quantum computingExplore the main applications of quantum computing to scientif
